It's that time of year again - the Chicago International Film Festival is starting on the 8th of this month. This year, there are two Korean titles screening - A Frozen Flower and Mother. I personally have not heard anything on either, but the synopses for both sound promising. The latter is directed by Bong Joon-Ho (The Host, Memories of Murder) so it's definitely worth a look.
This is probably the best foreign film festival in Chicago and there are tons of movies from other countries that are worth checking out, including Red Cliff (John Woo) and a Hong Kong crime thriller titled Plastic City that looks really cool.
All of the films this year are being screened at AMC River East, which has stadium seating. Check the website for tickets and additional information.
