Lee Chang-dong Classics
3 films
Celebrated Korean director Lee Chang-dong is hailed as a “poet of cinema.” With his background as a novelist, he masterfully captures the harsh realities of life at the margins with delicate nuance. Peppermint Candy unfolds in reverse from a man’s final moments, revealing how a once-hopeful youth is worn down by fate into someone he never wanted to become. Oasis portrays a forbidden, unconventional romance between an ex-convict and the sister of his victim, where love becomes the only refuge in a barren reality. In Poetry, a graceful elderly woman is forced to confront the shattering truths of life, learning that reality is rarely as beautiful as imagined. Join Giloo in revisiting Lee Chang-dong’s timeless classics, which lay bare the raw, unflinching truths of human existence.
