The post Ki-young Kim – Hwanyeo AKA Fire Woman (1970) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Prior to the adoption of Confucianism, it was the tradition to abandon one’s parents on a mountainside if they were over 70 years of age. In the ancient kingdom of Goryeo, now modern Korea, a nobleman defies this tradition when he refuses to leave his mother to starve to death.

This film has lost around 20 minutes worth of images in two parts of the surviving print. The first lost scene is assumed to be where Guryong and the deaf bride have sex on the first day of their wedding, and where the deaf bride is kidnapped and raped by the ten brothers. (This assumption could be wrong, since it has been surmised only from the soundtrack). During the two missing scenes, the screen is black (barring any subtitles) while the soundtrack plays normally.

The post Ki-young Kim – Salinnabileul ggotneun yeoja AKA Woman Chasing the Butterfly of Death (1978) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

A torrent of sexual obsession, revenge, and betrayal is unleashed under one roof in this venomous melodrama from South Korean master Kim Ki-young. Immensely popular in its home country when it was released, The Housemaid is the thrilling, at times jaw-dropping story of the devastating effect an unstable housemaid has on the domestic cocoon of a bourgeois, morally dubious music teacher, his devoted wife, and their precocious young children. Grim and taut yet perched on the border of the absurd, Kim’s film is an engrossing tale of class warfare and familial disintegration that has been hugely influential on the new generation of South Korean filmmakers.
