The Korea Society and the Museum of The Moving Image co-present Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring—a gorgeously shot feature film that has grossed more in box office receipts than any Korean movie released in United States to date. Directed by phenom Kim Ki-duk, the film is a pastoral poem about the changing seasons and a meditation on the cycle of life. In a tranquil and timeless setting of a temple floating on a lake in a forest, surrounded by mountain spires that cut the monastery off from worldly concerns, an old monk teaches his young disciple the wisdom of Buddha over the many seasons of their lives. In Korean with English subtitles.

Bad romance, blind love, amour fou! This spring, we screen a series of twisted, obsessive, heart-blazing love stories from Japan and Korea, because, after all, it takes two to tango and at least two to tumble. The 20+ film lineup, mostly from the past decade, includes the U.S. premiere of Shinya Tsukamoto’s latest film, “KOTOKO”, and the world premiere of Koji Wakamatsu’s “Petrel Hotel Blue”, as well as Hirokazu Kore’eda’s “Air Doll”, Nagisa Oshima’s arch-classic “In the Realm of the Senses”, Yukio Ninagawa’s “Snakes and Earrings”, Lee Sang-il’s Villain, Lee Chang-dong’s “Oasis”, and Kim Ki-duk’s “Bad Guy”, among other twisted tales of star-crossed lovers on the rocks and on the run…
