I'll be seeing her. Images of women in Korean cinema

Description

This highly informative documentary offers critical insight into the dynamic world of South Korean cinema spanning a period of nearly 50 years. The film considers the significant role women have played in various productions -- such as Madame Freedom (1956) and The Housemaid (1960) -- and with great dexterity reconstructs the history of South Korean cinema from the perspective of female audiences and actresses. I'll Be Seeing Her also shows how South Korean actresses are being displaced by North Korean, Swiss, and Chinese women as a result of a globalized film market.
