A village funeral is the setting for the
comedy “Farewell, My Darling.”
Sample two of the latest and greatest films from Korea in free screenings at the University of Hawaii-Manoa Art Auditorium. The movies will be shown over two weekends, with all shows at 7:30 p.m.: Two views of Korean life
"Green Fish": Novelist Lee Chang-Dong debuted as a director with this tale of how Korea's economic boom affects a country town.
Han Suk-Kyu, considered one of the most exciting Korean actors, plays Makdong, a young man who completes a stint in the military and returns to his hometown, only to find it has become a sleazy suburb of Seoul.
Shows are Friday to Sunday nights.
The film finds humor in a funeral, as a large Korean family comes together to bury Mr. Park. Relatives arrive from all over the world, and soon their city ways clash with the traditions of the village where Mr. Park was born and raised.
Shows are March 6-8.
