In recognition of our recent sold-out premiere of The Housemaid (2010) at MoMA, The Korea Society proudly presents this special screening of the lovingly restored 1960 original, directed by visionary, some suggest eccentric, Kim Ki-young, a director who examines pre-modernity and modernity with respect to class differences in Korean society. Compare Kim's The Housemaid to Im Sang Soo's 2010 remake of The Housemaid.
The original version of The Housemaid (1960) was restored by the World Cinema Foundation, led by Marine Scorsese, along with the Korean Film Archive. It was shown at the Cannes Film Festival in 2008.
Wednesday, October 27th | 6:30 PM
This event will take place at The Korea Society.
