The critically acclaimed South Korean film, POETRY, is coming to Bloomington as part of The Ryder Film Series. The film tells the story of a sixty-something woman, faced with the discovery of a heinous family crime, who finds strength and purpose when she enrolls in a poetry class. Filmmaker Lee Chang-dong received the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival.
BEAUTIFUL AND MOVING...A MASTERPIECE!
-Salon
Daring in the ways only quiet, unhurried but finally haunting films have the courage to be. A character study of remarkable subtlety joined to a carefully worked-out plot that fearlessly explores big issues like beauty, truth and mortality, it marks the further emergence of Korean writer-director Lee Chang-dong. -LA Times
Poetry will be screened June 3, 4, 10 and 11 at the IU Fine Arts at 7:30 at the IU Fine Arts Theater (FA 015) on 7th Street on the north side of Showalter Fountain.
