The first film in Park Chan-wook's Vengeance trilogy screens on 35mm, introduced by LEENALCHI, the Korean band that turns traditional pansori into dance-floor pop and is in town playing Forest Hills Stadium the same weekend. Afterward composer Jang Young Gyu talks shop, and he introduces The Wailing later that evening too. If you love Korean cinema or the band, this is the one-off ticket of the weekend.
What to expect
Metrograph is a two-screen repertory house with a bar and restaurant upstairs, and this is a single scheduled screening with guests. Expect a brief introduction, the full film, then a moderated conversation before the house clears.
