Description
One of the best Korean directors of the 1960s, Lee Man Hee made 50 films between 1961 and his death in 1975. Best known for his thrillers and action films, the director's works sadly remain mostly unseen by modern audiences (prints of his masterpiece Late Autumn are said to no longer exist). Fortunately, several Lee films were presented at the 10th annual Pusan International Film Festival in 2005. Now, the Korean Film Archive is releasing four of the director's best works in remastered form with English subtitles, along with a documentary on Lee Man Hee.
The Marines Who Never Returned (1963)
During the Korean War, a group of South Korean soldiers save an orphaned young girl during a battle in a ruined city, and they come to serve as her foster father. When one of the soldiers finds his sister among the dead in the city, the young girl tells him that it was a fellow South Korean soldier that killed her. Tensions quickly rise when that soldier joins the platoon.
Black Hair (1964)
A woman is disfigured by her gang boss lover after he discovers her affair with a henchman. With nowhere to turn, the woman becomes a prostitute and meets a kind taxi driver in the process. However, the gang boss still harbors feelings for his former lover and decides to go against the rules of the gang to get her back.
A Day Off (1968)
A poor young man finds out his lover is pregnant. With no money to raise a family, the man resorts to stealing his friend's money to pay for his lover's abortion. While she's in the operating room, he goes off to a bar and meets a woman, starting off a series of bad decisions that sends his life on a downward spiral.
Assassin (1969)
A North Korean assassin is sent to the south on a mission to kill a defected spy. When he meets the spy's daughter, the assassin grows a conscience and is unable to fulfill his mission. Instead, he turns himself in to the police and helps them round up other North Korean spies.
