This week there are two Korean films from the late 1990s playing on 35mm at the Seoul Cinematheque: Lee Young Jae’s THE HARMONIUM IN MY MEMORY and Im Sang-soo’s debut feature GIRLS’ NIGHT OUT. I know very little about THE HARMONIUM IN MY MEMORY, a period piece set in the 1950s concerning a young girl and her teacher, and am equally unfamiliar with its director. But I have been interested in seeing the first film of Im Sang-soo, the director of THE PRESIDENT’S LAST BANG and A GOOD LAWYER’S WIFE, and have been unable to find it on DVD. Like many of Im’s films, it was something of a sensation at the time, being one of the first Korean films to feature female characters openly discussing sex (which no doubt led to its strong box office). The screening schedules are:

HARMONIUM IN MY MEMORY: Tuesday (16th) at 4:00 pm, Wednesday (17th) at 7:00 pm.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT: Thursday (18th) at 1:30 pm, Friday (19th) at 7:00 pm
