Korea

One of the first Film Board releases this is also one of the best. Directed by one of the old-school filmmakers from the '80s. Strong visuals, good music score, and an interesting story. It's the usual '50s setting with a Korean war back drop and tensions still around from the '20s. Two familes don't get on. It's like a list of clichés from Irish cinema but before they became clichés!
