Kimkiduk Relandsch.Pdf MoMA PRESENTS FIRST COMPLETE RETROSPECTIVE OF THE FILMS OF KIM KI-DUK Celebrated Korean Director Will Introduce Opening Night Screening of Latest Feature Breath KIM KI-DUK April 23–May 8, 2008 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters Press screening of Soom (Breath), Thursday, April 17, 10:00 a.m. NEW YORK, April 9, 2008—The Museum of Modern Art presents the first complete North American retrospective of Korean writer-director Kim Ki-Duk. Kim Ki-Duk, a 14-film exhibition that includes several features never before seen in the U.S., is presented April 23 through May 8, 2008 in The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters, giving audiences a rare chance to chart the development of the director's sensuous imagery and strong narratives. Kim will be present on opening night, April 23, to introduce a screening of his latest feature Soom (Breath, 2007). The exhibition is organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art, and Hahn Dong-Sin, founder of the Korean cultural organization Open Work, New York. Kim Ki-Duk (b. 1960, Bonghwa), a self-taught maverick Korean filmmaker, has been a factory worker, soldier, priest-in-training, and, between 1992 and 1995, a street artist in France, where he discovered cinema through the films of Leos Carax and Jonathan Demme. After winning a screenwriting competition in Korea, Kim was able to make, without any formal training, his first feature, Crocodile (1996). Over the next 11 years, 13 more films followed, including his best- known film, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003). Kim’s films cohere into a vivid and compelling body of work characterized by sweeping camera movements and long, thoughtfully composed shots. They are populated by characters, uneasy in their social situations, who adopt silence as a protection and whose reactions tend to be brutal; this savagery distinguishes these narratives. His stories are often set on islands or in worlds circumscribed by water, as in Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring, Hwal (The Bow, 2005), and Seom (The Isle, 2000), but Kim’s keen eye situates his films in a space that is remarkably vivid and cinematic. Presented in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Service (Song Soo-Keun, Director), New York, and with the support of the Korean Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Korean Film Council (An Cheong-Sook, Chair), and Korean Film Archive (Cho Sunhee, Director) in Seoul. The Department of Film is grateful to the Korean producers (Cineclick Asia, Prime Entertainment, Dauri Entertainment) and the American distributors (Tartan Films, Sony Pictures Classics, Lifesize, Empire Pictures) for the loan of prints for this retrospective.

Visit us at www.moma.org KIM KI-DUK SCREENING SCHEDULE Wednesday, April 23 7:00 Soom (Breath). 2007. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Chen Chang, Jung-woo Ha, Kim Ki-Duk, Ji-a Park Kim. Kim’s most recent excursion into hyperrealism follows an attractive young sculptor living on the outskirts of Seoul with her beloved daughter and a husband from whom she is alienated. Upon seeing a television news broadcast about a death row inmate’s suicide attempt, she begins visiting the prisoner in jail. Each season, she redecorates the prison visiting room, talks about herself, sings, and even dances for the prisoner—yet he remains stoically silent. Kim produces a transcendent film from this seemingly bizarre narrative. 84 min. Kim Ki-Duk present Thursday, April 24 6:15 Bin-jip (3-Iron). 2004. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Seung-yeon Lee, Hyun-kyoon Lee, Hyun-ho Kwon, Jeong-ho Choi, Ju-seok Lee, Mi-suk Lee, Sung-hyuk Moon, Jee-ah Park, Jae-yong Jang, Dah-hae Lee. Many of Kim’s films are divided into parts, and in 3-Iron the divisions are especially telling. A young man enters people’s vacant homes—treating them with great respect and care— only to sneak away when the owners return. The first part of the film concerns his discovery and capture; the second section takes place in prison, where he practices the art of disappearing; and the third is about being present without being seen. 90 min. 8:15 Samaria (Samaritan Girl). 2004. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Yeo-reum Han, Ji-min Kwak, Eol Lee, Kwon Hyun-Min, Oh Young, Gyun-Ho Im. This three-act melodrama begins with two carefree women, one a prostitute raising money for a European trip and the other her manager. When the former dies, her manager vows to return all of their profits to the clients—but only after sleeping with each of them. Meanwhile her father, a retired policeman, awaits her confession. The acts are titled “Vasumitra” (the name of a legendary prostitute who turned clients toward Buddhism), “Samaria" (after “Santa Maria” and “samaritan”), and “Sonata.” 95 min. Friday, April 25 6:15 Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring). 2003. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Yeong-su Oh, Kim Ki-Duk, Young-min Kim, Jae-kyeong Seo, Yeo-jin Ha, Jong-ho Kim, Jung-young Kim, Dae-han Ji. This film, Kim’s best known in America, is set in a small Buddhist temple in the middle of a secluded and ravishingly beautiful lake. There live an old monk and his young charge, a boy barely of school age who learns the secrets and lessons of the world around him. As the seasons change, the boy matures into adolescence and adulthood. The film never leaves the floating monastery and its breathtaking vistas, yet its seemingly hermetic world is a window onto life’s mysteries. 103 min. 8:30 Hwal (The Bow). 2005. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Yeo-reum Han, Si-jeok Seo, Good-hwan Jeon, Seon-hwang Jeon, Seok-hyeon Jo. Lyrical, dreamy, and shot through with hues of cerulean blue, The Bow is the most rhythmic of Kim’s films. Set upon the water, the film takes place on a boat rented out to day fishermen. The crew consists of Old Man and his sixteen-year-old ward, whom he plans to marry on her seventeenth birthday. The title refers to the fiddle-like musical instrument that Old Man plays—and that he uses as a weapon against clients who become too interested in his intended. Strangely, the bow is also used to tell fortunes. 90 min. Saturday, April 26 2:00 Hwal (The Bow). See Friday, April 25, 8:30 4:00 Paran daemun (Birdcage Inn). 1998. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Ji-eun Lee, Hae- eun Lee, Jae-mo Ahn, Hyeong-gi Jeong, Min-seok Son. Birdcage Inn, Kim’s third film, was his first to garner international critical acclaim. Egon Schiele’s portraits of nude prostitutes were a major influence on the filmmaker, and he begins Birdcage Inn with the arrival of a young prostitute in a coastal town with one of these portraits under her arm. She soon takes up residence in a down-at-heel guesthouse, the Birdcage Inn, where the family who runs the establishment continually interferes with her life and trade. 105 min. 6:15 Soom (Breath). See Wednesday, April 23, 7:00. 8:00 Seom (The Isle). 2000. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Jung Suh, Yoosuk Kim, Sung- hee Park, Jae-hyeon Jo, Hang-Seon Jang. Deliriously scenic, The Isle is also one of the most unsettling of Kim Ki-Duk’s chamber dramas, marked by the sharp contrast between the idyllic landscape and the sadomasochistic relationship of its two main characters. On a secluded lake where men fish from anchored rafts, a mute young woman sells bait, food, and herself. On one of these rafts the woman spies an attractive fugitive. When he is at his most vulnerable, she—in a sense—hooks him. The Isle is not for the squeamish. 90 min. Sunday, April 27 2:00 Bin-jip (3-Iron). See Thursday, April 24, 6:15. 4:30 Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring). See Friday, April 25, 6:15 Monday, April 28 6:00 Suchwiin bulmyeong (Address Unknown). 2001. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Dong-kun Yang, Min-jung Ban, Young-min Kim, Eun-jin Bang, Gye-nam Myeong.

  • Film Adaptation of Vikas Swarup's Q&A
    Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 India’s Real Fiction Meets World’s Popular Cinema - Film Adaptation of Vikas Swarup's Q&A Sreenivas Andoju Dept. of English, Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology Hyderabad, India Dr. Suneetha Yadav Dept. of English, Rajiv Gandhi Memorial College of Engineering & Technology, Nandyal, Kurnool, India Abstract The Indian Foreign Services (IFS) official Vikas Swarup penned “Q & A”, a work of fiction that portrayed the ground realities of Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai. A few years later Danny Boyle adapted the book and created an improbable yet scintillating success making it the best British film of that decade which portrayed Dharavi’s rooftops in the most cinematic technique possible. In this context, this research paper attempts to explore and analyse critically, the purpose and the socio-political connotations such adaptation reverberated by an all new portrayal of Indian story on the celluloid both for the local and global audiences. Amitabh Bachchan commented on Slumdog Millionaire that "if the film projects India as Third World's dirty underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky underbelly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations." “(Times of India & The Guardian, 2009) So, what could be the hidden purpose behind such portrayal by Danny Boyle and How were the Indian reactions spoken or otherwise and why? are a few issues that are intended to explore and present in this paper. Keywords: Popularity, Reality, Fiction, Adaptation. Introduction A work of fiction be it a novel or a film is boundary less but when it is viewed from social or political perspectives, there needs a critical debate and clarity.

Abstract The focus of this dissertation is to show how the media of contemporary Korean popular culture, specifically films, are transformed into “hybrid cultural forms” through the practice of genre transformation. Since the early 21st century, South Korean popular culture has been increasingly spreading across the globe. Despite its growing attention and popularity, Korean pop culture has been criticized for its explicit copying of Western culture with no unique cultural identity. Others view the success of Korean media, both its creative mimicry and its critique of the West, as a new hybrid form that offers the opportunity for reassertion of local identity as well as challenging the global hegemony of the West.
