The Isle - Gala Presentation
Korea 2000, Dir. Kim Ki-Duk, 35mm
A stunning example of the Korean new wave, The Isle is a shocking and controversial film about a feral woman who runs a campground of floating fishing huts, which serves as a surreal backdrop for this tale of repression, obssession, and the purging of past sins. Recalling classics like Teshigahara's Woman in the Dunes, The Isle centers on two disturbed individuals who develop a bizarre relationship that includes harsh masochistic behavior.

Playing Thursday July 5th at 7pm at the Cinematheque as part of the Gala presentation, and on Saturday July 7th at 8pm (please note this second screening time has been switched with the screening of The Unscarred, which was originally in this time slot)
