Gilsoddeum is a 1986 South Korean drama film directed by Im Kwon-taek.[1] It was entered into the 36th Berlin International Film Festival.[2]

Plot

[edit]

In 1983, KBS launched a campaign to reunite families torn apart in the Korean War three decades earlier. In an expert dissection of the social and familial rifts in modern Korea, director Im Kwon-taek integrates footage from the campaign into the story of Hwa-yeong, who leaves her middle-class life in Busan to search for the son she lost in Gilsotteum during the war.[3]

Production

In this film, Lee Sang-a has brief love scenes and a full rear nude shot. The actress, who was 13 or 14 years old during filming, revealed in 2015 that she was forced to do the nude scene by director Im Kwon-taek.[4]
