Korean cinema at BAM: BAMcinématek continues its tradition of importing the works of masters of new Korean cinema with this look at the work of Kim Jee-woon. Kim’s newest film, I Saw the Devil (2010), was banned from public theaters in Korea due to scenes that the government claimed “severely damage the dignity of human values” before being trimmed by seven minutes to gain release. As American audiences brace for the imminent release of this newest bloody opus, BAMcinématek is thrilled to look back at more than a decade of shock, gore, and style from Kim Jee-woon.
This weekend at Cobble Hill Cinema: Biutiful, Blue Valentine, The King’s Speech, True Grit, Cedar Rapids
