5th edition World Cinema Amsterdam
On behalf of Rialto theatre we would like to introduce the 5th edition of World Cinema Amsterdam, taking place at Rialto and De Balie from 14 - 24 August.
World Cinema Amsterdam offers the best independent films from Latin America, Asia and Africa. The festival has selected a film from South Korea in the Competition Programme.
A GIRL AT MY DOOR (DOHEE-YA)
JULY JUNG | SOUTH KOREA | 2014 | 119' | KOREAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES The director will be attending the festival!
“A Girl at My Door is Korean cinema at its finest” was the headline of leading American film magazine Variety’s highly praising review on Korean director July Jung’s debut film. In this police drama, Jung, who also wrote the script, broaches issues that are rather sensitive in South Korea, such as homosexuality, alcoholism and child abuse.
Following a series of incidents, female police agent Young-nam, once a top graduate of the police academy, is transferred to a small sleepy seaside village. She is determined not to stand out. However, first impressions deceive and the village isn’t really that sleepy. On her first day there, she meets 14-year-old Dohee, a lonely girl who is beaten up regularly by her alcoholic stepfather. When things threaten to get out of hand, Dohee turns to Young-nam for protection, who lets her stay at her place. In the beginning, they get along fine, but after a while, Dohee’s quirks come to light. Once Young-nam’s former girlfriend arrives, things become really complicated. Film star Doona-bae (e.g. Cloud Atlas) offers a strong performance as the introvert Young-nam.
