Part of Korean Cinema Showcase (The Faces of Choi Min-shik)
Sunday, May 20, 2012, 3:00 p.m.

Dir. Song Hae-sung. 2001, 116 mins. With Choi Min-Shik, Celia Cheung. In this under-the-radar festival gem, Choi stars as Kang-jae, a bedraggled third-rate hoodlum who idly dreams of a simpler life back in his hometown. One day, he receives a letter from a Chinese girl named Failan, whom he has never met, and it changes his entire life. Choi and Cheung’s touching performances ground this story of longing and missed chances.

Free with Museum admission.
