Saving the Seoul Art Cinema
January 21st, 2006 by Andre Soares
"Les amis de la Cinematheque," a group of Korean filmmakers, critics, and actors, have organized a week-long film festival to help support the financially troubled Seoul Art Cinema. Among the films being screened are D. W. Griffith’s 1919 classic Broken Blossoms, the tragic story of a Chinese immigrant (a heavily made-up and thoroughly believable Richard Barthelmess) who falls for white girl Lillian Gish; Samuel Fuller’s bizarre 1963 cult classic Shock Corridor, and Don Siegel’s 1964 remake of The Killers, starring Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson.
