Series 1: Jang Hun Plus One!

Jang Hun started out as an assistant director to Kim Ki-Duk, but with his first film, Rough Cut, he established himself as Korea's answer to Steven Soderbergh: a director making big budget movies with an independent sensibility. Rough Cut, Secret Reunion, and The Front Line have all become massive box office hits without making an compromises or talking down to their audiences. To round out the trio of movies in this mini-retrospective, we're including White Night, another crime film that transforms itself into something dark, glittering and truly amazing.

Tuesday, January 24 @ 7PM
ROUGH CUT (2008)
Kim Ki-Duk wrote this high concept knuckle-buster about a spoiled actor, famous for playing gangsters, who hires a real-life gangster to appear in his new flick. It sounds like nothing but a pile of cliches, but Jang Hun ignores the traditional approach and instead focuses on the volcanic, boiling testosterone that drives the conflict between a man used to getting his way because he's famous, and a man used to getting his way because he's violent. The seduction of filmmaking, the appeal of acting and the temptation of a street brawl all exert their siren song on the two studs in suits at the heart of this film: superstar So Ji-Sub, surprisingly, playing the gangster and Kang Ji-Hwan as the actor.

Tuesday, February 15 @ 7PM
SECRET REUNION (2010)
Two of Korea's best actors face off in this blockbuster action flick that manages to be sly, subversive and really funny while delivering white knuckle thrills. Song Kang-Ho (The Host) is a South Korean secret agent who fumbles a sting operation on a North Korean spy. Pop star Gang Dong-Won (Haunters) is the North Korean assassin who has been embedded in the South. After the botched operation, both men are cut loose by their respective agencies and Song becomes a private eye, while Gang sinks into deep cover, trying to survive long enough to go home. Years later, they cross paths and what audiences are treated to is a buddy movie to end all buddy movies.

Tuesday, February 28 @ 7PM
WHITE NIGHT (North American Premiere, 2009)
White Night is a sprawling, evil epic about an unsolved crime that happened 14 years previously that has spilled its poison out over the subsequent years. Based on a best-selling Japanese novel, and featuring a riveting performance by Ko Soo, star of The Frontline, director Park Shin-Woo turns this movie into a slick, beautifully realized film about true evil, as a detective refuses to let go of this single case, instead insisting on following its threads for years no matter where they lead. And where they lead is dark and truly shocking. This hit film has been called the best Korean film of 2009 by several critics and once you've seen it, it's hard to forget.

FILM SOCIETY’S ANNUAL BENEFIT TO HONOR CATHERINE DENEUVE

Catherine Deneuve will receive the Film Society of Lincoln Center's 39th Chaplin Award on Monday, April 2, 2012 in New York City. The annual gala is the Film Society's largest annual fundraiser, benefiting the ongoing programs of the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

At an Alice Tully Hall ceremony, an array of notable guests and celebrities will salute Catherine Deneuve. The evening will include films clips and a party to celebrate Deneuve's career in cinema.

The daughter of French actors, Deneuve's career spans five decades, from the film Les Portes Claquent(The Door Slams) to her latest, Christophe Honoré's Les Biens-aimés (The Beloved), from last year's Cannes Film Festival.

Denueve gained wide acclaim for her role in Jacques Demy's 1964 film, Les Parapluies de Cherbourg(The Umbrella's of Cherbourg). In the 1960s and '70s she became an unforgettable presence in films such as Roman Polanski’s Repulsion (1965), Demy’s and Agnes Vardas’ Les Demoiselles de Rochefort  (The Young Girls of Rochefort) (1967), Terence Young’s Mayerling (1968), François Truffaut’s La Siréne du Mississippi (Mississippi Mermaid) (1969), Stuart Rosenberg’s The April Fools (1969), and Luis Bunuel’s Belle de Jour (1967) and Tristana (1970). Other notable films leading into the 80’s were Demy's Peau d'âne (Donkey Skin) (1970), Jean-Pierre Melville's Un Flic (Dirty Money) (1971), Robert Aldrich’s Hustle (1975), Claude Berri's Je vous aime (I Love You All) (1980), Truffaut’s Le Dernier Métro(The Last Metro) (1980) – for which she won the César Award for Best Actress, and Tony Scott’s The Hunger (1983).

Catherine Deneuve received an Academy Award nomination for best actress (and won her second César Award) for her role in the 1992 film, Indochine. 1995’s O convento (The Convent) for acclaimed Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira followed. Lars von Trier’s Dancer In the Dark (2000) was another high point among her recent films, as well as her work in François Ozon's 8 Femmes (8 Women) (2002), de Oliveira's Je rentre la maison (I'm Going Home) (2001), Um Filme falado (A Talking Picture) (2003), Vincent paronnaud’s and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis (2008) and Arnaud Despléchin’sA Christmas Tale (2008). Most recently, she reteamed with Ozon to star in the comedy Potiche (2010).

"It will be an honor to have Catherine Deneuve join our list of past honorees. It will be a joy to create an evening of style and grace befitting such an iconic screen presence," said FSLC Executive Director Rose Kuo.

For information on tables and tickets for the annual Chaplin Award Gala, please call 212.875.5685 or email galarsvp@filmlinc.com.

The Film Society’s Annual Gala began in 1972 and honored Charles Chaplin – who returned to the US from exile to accept the commendation. Since then, the award has been renamed for Chaplin, and has honored many of the film industry’s most notable talents, including Alfred Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Laurence Olivier, Federico Fellini, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis, James Stewart, Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Michael Douglas and most recently, Sidney Poitier.

MoMAFilm: The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters

The films presented in this annual collaboration between MoMA and the Global Film Initiative (GFI) are part of the touring film exhibition Global Lens, a project conceived to encourage filmmaking in countries with emerging film communities. The selection of 10 programs, which include films developed with seed money from GFI, represents a concise survey of contemporary filmmaking from areas where local economic realities make such expensive and technology-driven endeavors a challenge. Accomplished, entertaining, and thought-provoking, the films are deeply rooted in the social and political realities of the countries where their talented and resourceful makers live and set their stories. This exhibition is organized by Jytte Jensen, Curator, Department of Film. The exhibition is a collaboration between the Global Film Initiative and the Department of Film.
