MARCH 11 – VENUS TALK (2014, 108min)
Korea’s take on Sex in the City is a charming, eye-opening joyride that takes us through the day-to-day experiences of three women from very different walks of life, through the ups and downs of their wild relationships, sex lives, and friendships. Television producer Shin-hye (UHM Jeong-hwa), housewife Mi-yeon (MOON So-ri), and single mother Hae-young (JO Min-soo) are an inseparable trio, bound together by their passions – but when life gets the best of them, they must band together and prove that their love for each other can overcome all obstacles. A brand new comedy from Myung Films and director Kwon Chil-in (Singles), Venus Talk has been burning up Korean box offices over the past few weeks, and guaranteed to light a passionate fire at Tribeca Cinemas!
APRIL 15 – MONSTER (2014, 113min)
Things get dark and electrifying in Hwang In-ho’s new thriller, Monster – the intense tale of the mentally handicapped Bok-soon (KIM Go-Eun), who lives and works with her younger sibling. When angered, she tends to go off, and everyone around her considers her the neighborhood’s crazy woman. All that changes when Bok-soon discovers a serial killer who murders her sibling to hide his own secret. Now it’s time for the one woman who no one trusts to track down a killer that no one believes is real. A thrilling mystery from director Hwang In-ho, this new film reminds us that there is no fury like that of a woman scorned!
APRIL 29 – NORA NOH (2013, 93min North America Premier)
Nora NOH was considered one of the Korea’s greatest fashion designers, and dominated the Korean fashion scene – and culture – of the 1980s. She was the first person to host a fashion show in Korea, brought miniskirts to the forefront of fashion, and became the first Korean designer to secure placement in Macy’s department store. Join us for this exhilarating story of a trailblazing feminist’s struggles and successes – brought to life through interviews, rare photos, and absolutely amazing footage. This celebratory documentary from director KIM Sung- is a special kind of film that young and old, men and women, simply cannot miss.
