K-Cinema Korean Movie Night: The Wailing (곡성)
About this Event
The arrival of a mysterious stranger (Jun Kunimura) in a quiet rural village arouses plenty of suspicion, but when the local people start killing each other in gruesome fashion, suspicion turns to panic. The daughter of the investigator (Kwak Do-won) sent to unravel the mess eventually falls under the same savage spell, and a traditional shaman (Hwang Jung-min) is called in to tackle a far more sinister threat. That is, if it's not too late for everyone already.
From master director Na Hong-jin, The Wailing (2016) joined the ranks of Korea's most intense psychological thrillers alongside The Chaser, Oldboy, and others. In addition to a 99% on RottenTomatoes.com and an official selection at the Cannes Film festival, The Wailing earned a slew of awards: Best Film at the BaekSang Arts Awards, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Music, and Best Film Editing at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, and Best New Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Recording, Best Lighting, and Best Editing at the Daejong Film Awards.

줄거리: 낯선 외지인(쿠니무라 준)이 나타난 후 벌어지는 의문의 연쇄 사건들로 마을이 발칵 뒤집힌다. 경찰은 집단 야생 버섯 중독으로 잠정적 결론을 내리지만 모든 사건의 원인이 그 외지인 때문이라는 소문과 의심이 걷잡을 수 없이 퍼져 나간다. 경찰 ‘종구’(곽도원)는 현장을 목격했다는 여인 ‘무명’(천우희)을 만나면서 외지인에 대한 소문을 확신하기 시작한다. 딸 ‘효진’(김환희)이 피해자들과 비슷한 증상으로 아파오기 시작하자 다급해진 ‘종구’. 외지인을 찾아 난동을 부리고, 무속인 ‘일광’(황정민)을 불러들이는데...
