I’m late to the party on this but I don’t get these announcements sent to me directly so I only managed to stumble upon this update over the weekend, but The Korean Cultural Center New York is already underway with its newest virtual screening series celebrating the work of actor Song Kang-ho.
Six titles are streaming per Korean Movie Night at Home’s Master’s Series: Actor Song Kang-ho which kicked off on October 28, and as of this report, that leaves a little under two weeks for everyone to take a gander at some free viewing with some required membership which is a cinch to finish up in the process. Titles include Joint Security Area, Secret Reunion, The Face Reader, The Attorney, A Taxi Driver, and The King’s Letters.
I’ve seen at least three of these already in the last few years, including A Taxi Driver and JSA – Joint Security Area, and am working on catching others in this list before this series expires. My earliest experiences watching Song were Shiri which I found on DVD and watched like crazy, and due to accessibility, financing, and time constraints, it would be years before I could finally catch up with other films like Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance, JSA, and Bong Joon-ho’s The Host to name a few. I’m still catching up, and so I would say that for all the downsides there are of streaming, I’m glad there are some upsides too.
