Free screening Yeongjas Heydays 1975 tomorrow

Free screening Yeongjas Heydays 1975 tomorrow


Tomorrow, Saturday, July 11, at 3pm, the Royal Asiatic Society Cinema Club and Seoul Film Society will have a free screening of the 1975 Kim Ho-seon film "Yeongjas Heydays" with English subtitles at Seoul Global Centers Haechi Hall, on the 5th Floor of M Plaza in Myeong-dong.
Yeong-Jas Heydays is the most important of the "hostess melodramas" that were popular during the 1970s. It is also the debut film of director Kim Ho-seon, who, together with Ha Kil-jong and Lee Jang-ho, infused new life into the declining Korean cinema of the mid-1970s. At the time of its release, Yeong-Jas Heydays drew the spotlight as a "youth film" rather than as a "hostess film" (the term did not come into use until 1977). It was recognized as the emergence of a new sensibility for a new generation, in that it observed and recorded the lives of the young with a fresh, innovative visual sense. The Weekly Chosuns assessment of the movie as "the story of scary kids, growing freely like weeds" plainly describes this public perception.
