“Ode to My Father” (2014).

Co-presented by Korean Cultural Service NY and Asia Society

Part of Korean Movie Night New York‘s Fathers on Screen series (February 9 to March 31, 2015)

Ode to My Father
(국제시장 Guk-je-si-jang)
Directed by JK YOUN (YOUN Je-kyun)
Starring: HWANG Jung-min, KIM Yun-jin, OH Dal-su
2014. South Korea. 126 min. DCP. In Korean with English subtitles.

Mostly known for his disaster film HAEUNDAE, the blockbuster filmmaker JK YOUN brings us this new epic melodrama, ODE TO MY FATHER. Selected for the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival Panorama, the film guides viewers through South Korea’s modern history by following Duk-soo (HWANG Jung-min)’s struggles to support his family, as he endures hardships during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, and in German coal mines. This universal tale of loyalty and love is a tribute to the generation of Korean fathers who have sacrificed everything for the sake of their families, and have in process set the stage for Korea’s rise as one of the world’s leading economic and cultural powers.

  1. I would like to cancel my RSVP for this event. Unfortunately, I did not realize the time conflict when I RSVPed. Thank you for your understanding.

  2. Interesting, i would like to RSVP. I was wondering if it is possible to bring a +1 as well, a Baruch student. Regardless i would go if that is not possible.

  3. Stefan, you can bring a friend but friend would have to register and pay for their own ticket. I will purchase a ticket for you and forward the details.
