<\/a><\/p>\nCome, Together (\ucef4, \ud22c\uac8c\ub354)
\nSUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 4:00 P.M.
\nDir. Shin Dong-il. 2016, 122 min. With Im Hyeon-gook, Lee Hye-eun, Chae Bin. In Korean with English subtitles. An \u201cassuredly executed drama with fiery performances\u201d (Maggie Lee, Variety), Shin Dong-il\u2019s engaging film illustrates the toll Korea\u2019s hyper-competitive society can take on an ordinary family. When middle manager Beom-gu (Im Hyeon-gook) is fired from his job after eighteen years, his violent rage throws his family into turmoil. His wife Mi-young (Lee Hye-eun), now the sole breadwinner, starts cutting ethical corners in her job selling credit cards. Meanwhile, their daughter Ha-na (Chae Bin) frets over her college entrance exam. Shin\u2019s psychologically astute film is a well-crafted combination of social critique and tense drama that movingly makes the case for following one\u2019s passions rather than succumbing to societal pressures.<\/p>\n
Okja (\uc625\uc790)
\nFollowed by live video call with Bong Joon-ho
\nSUNDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 7:00 P.M.
\nDir. Bong Joon-ho. 2017, 120 mins. With Tilda Swinton, Ahn Seo-hyun, Paul Dano, Jake Gyllenhaal. In English and Korean with English subtitles. Hailed visionary Bong Joon-ho (Snowpiercer, The Host) returns with a typically twisted, vegetarian-friendly blockbuster about the friendship between a young girl named Mija (Seo-Hyun Ahn, Monster) and her \u201csuper-pig\u201d Okja. In the guise of a family movie, this madcap anti-corporate satire follows the duo\u2019s fight against a villainous corporation\u2014led by the always superb Tilda Swinton, who plays both a hypocrite CEO and her scheming twin sister. En route to freedom, Mija and Okja encounter a plethora of quirky characters, including a cadre of eco-terrorists led by a courteous troublemaker (Paul Dano) and a \u201cSir Attenborough\u201d from hell (Jake Gyllenhaal).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
