Korean Cultural Centre 1 Northumberland Avenue London, WC2N 5EJHatsu Yuki No Koi (Virgin Snow)
directed by Han Sang-heeHatsu Yuki No Koi, or Virgin Snow, written by Ban Kazuhiko and directed by Han Sang-hee, stars the most popular young Korean actor of the day, Lee Jun-ki and the princess of Japanese cinema, Miyazaki Aoi. This Korean-Japanese production is primarily a high school love story set against the cityscapes of Kyoto and Seoul. Min (Lee), a Korean high school student comes to Japan when his father, a potter, is posted to a university in Kyoto. Min meets Nanae (Miyazaki) and promptly falls in love with her. The relationship blossoms and they overcome both linguistic and cultural differences. Loosely based around the fact that the words for ‘promise’ are the same in both Japanese and Korean, the story takes a turn when Nanae suddenly goes missing.
The Director, Han Sang-hee will be present at the screening and will take questions at the end. The Korean Cultural Centre has also kindly agreed to serve refreshments afterwards.
