Don't go in one if it has a flat roof. Especially if there is a big dog on said roof

More from KOFA. The Hand of God (1954). A love-across-the-lines melodrama with an unlikely fairytale-like romance at the centre. In proper fairytale tradition though it has a nasty bite. Great location work, a corking fistfight, and the bone-deep sadness you get in all these 38th parallel stories 1/

First watch: The Tin Star (1957), courtesy of Arte. Another Anthony Mann western, but not with James Stewart this time. Henry Fonda stars as a bounty hunter who finds himself schooling an unseasoned young sheriff, played by Anthony Perkins. 1/4

More KOFA goodness, Black Hair (1964) is one the darkest films I've ever seen, as in literally dark. Shot almost entirely at night, with ace cinematography that is beyond noir, it looks amazing, and it really gets to you, like you've been dropped into a place where the sun is never coming up again

축제 참여자들은 공격적인 발언과 혹시 모를 폭력에 두려워하면서도 상처받지 않고 축제를 즐기겠다는 마음 가짐을 이어갔습니다. 이날 퀴어문화축제의 구호는 “우리는 결코 멈추지 않는다”였습니다.

Mist (1967) raises the possibility of true romance in a modernising Korea where the priorities are passing tests, moving up to Seoul, or marrying money. Shin Sung-il and Yoon Jeong-hee are both subtle and magnetic, playing lovers who are either redeeming or using each other 1/

The Glass Wall is a gripping, fast-moving gem of a movie with real heart. Vittorio Gassman and Gloria Grahame wonderful as two busted suckers who find each other. Bottom-of-the-heap solidarity with the hounded refugee, the sweated worker, the abused & objectified all getting faces, voices, & stories

No Orchids for Miss Blandish is a Brit-made 'American' gangster film with a bunch of plummy English thesps doing bad James Cagney impersonations. It's like Fast Show sketch. But then the violence hits and it's startling. Very nasty, and very sexually frank. The Monthly Film Bulletin called it...
