This is a 5 year old post and thankf...Thanks Irish. This is a 5 year old post and thankfully in the last few years, many older Korean films have become available. There is another youtube channel (Korean film archive) which has many Korean films from the 1940's-90's. I have only started to view some of these.Sachinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227932224402555942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-54218963122833109152013-07-08T18:04:38.805-07:002013-07-08T18:04:38.805-07:00look here

Now my benchmark is 1990 :)<BR/>Still it was amazing to think that was a complete vacuum right there. I have seen older African, South American films but Korea stood out. Logically if one thinks about it there was no way that the new film-makers from Korea could have started coming up with such interesting and cutting edge works without their nation having a history.<BR/><BR/>So, I too will keep my eyes open for older works. I am quite curious now :)Sachinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13227932224402555942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942068.post-89761672320692052922008-12-27T22:29:00.000-07:002008-12-27T22:29:00.000-07:00Very informative post Sachin. Thank you for sharin...Very informative post Sachin. Thank you for sharing them. It’s quite true that the older Korean films, presumably before the Korean New Wave are really hard to find. Not only that there are hardly any information on these films. <BR/><BR/>I grew up watching Korean films during my formative years of cinephilia, but like most cinephiles across the world it was films that crossed borders after Park Chan Wook’s JSA that I think has stuck with everyone. It’s strange how the notion that ‘Korean’ cinema as such only came into dominance in the last decade or so makes us slightly blind to think that their history didn’t exist before that.<BR/><BR/>I think lack of knowledge and information is really a dangerous thing and hope I can track the older Korean films…somewhere.niteshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667299083541761990noreply@blogger.com
