this is one of the most iconic scenes. a hammering escape. it features in many guidebooks and is is a stopping point for many tourists. bong joon—ho said it removed the barriers that subtitles had been to english speaking audiences. certainly, parasite made international stars of its cars. translation: the expression, _ stars of its cars. translation: the expression, gestures, the i the expression, gestures, the physicality they express. parasite quite simply sat in history as one of the great films of the 21st century.

korean cinema, at least when it comes to filmmaking, has been pretty much a man's game with male directors pulling the shots but things are changing. as emma jones reports, women are gaining ground both in front and behind the camera. the first lady of korean film became the first korean international star after winning the best price at venice for this arrogant woman, the story of a woman given to a couple to bear this arrogant child. she died this year age 55 but she was known for playing memorable, complex female characters long before that was considered to be important. 35 years after the surrogate woman, perhaps love's actress

directing debut, middle age writer falling directing debut, middle age writerfalling for his writer falling for his attractive student and told humourously. she thinks seeing the breakthrough of stories for and by women give film a big challenge. translation: flit challenge. translation: of course, they are persisting problems in the korean industry today. i do feel it is a sensitive issue so i do not want to step on any toes or anything there is definitely room for another thing that comes to mind is the girth of female character narratives. there is definitely improvement necessary in the area but on the other hand, as you know, there has been a lot of global recognition for korean cinema, it is also thriving.— it is also thriving. there have been some —

it is also thriving. there have been some noticeable - been some noticeable breakthroughs including in 2008, forever the moment, a fictionalised account of a korean's women's handball team. 2016 the truth hanif is a fast—paced thriller about a political scandal and a kidnap. it was a big hit —— the truth menini. unlike the handmaiden, he did not get invited to festivals. it he did not get invited to festivals.— festivals. it is really interesting - festivals. it is really interesting to - festivals. it is really interesting to think| festivals. it is really - interesting to think why that was stopped and i think partly that was because festival programmers and directors were not paying attention to films by women and feels about women and partly it is probably to do with the fact that she is not such a well—known figure in the

west and so it doesn't have the kind of fan base that someone like bong joon—ho and park chan—wook have. like bong joon-ho and park chan-wook have. maintaining a aood chan-wook have. maintaining a good outward _ chan-wook have. maintaining a good outward appearance - chan-wook have. maintaining a good outward appearance has l good outward appearance has been part of traditional korean society for centuries and in modern times, this pressure inevitably and usually falls upon women. has this got some to do with the way women are portrayed in film? suddenly, this year's notable films by female directors deal with a highly sexualised society. one film looks at south korea �*s epidemic of sexual crime through the story of one woman whose quiet life is ruined by it.

the director of the london korean film festival this year is again a spotlight on women's voices. i is again a spotlight on women's voices. ., ._ , ., voices. i would say young female filmmakers - voices. i would say young female filmmakers in - voices. i would say young i female filmmakers in korea, they are still struggling and they are still struggling and they mostly talk about women's rights and the lives of the young women and that is why they talk about more deep relationships, characters, like mother and daughter but they can dig into different ways how to film in the real world. aha, to film in the real world. a short film has also gained a few headlines as a humourous take on a female tv producer refusing to pixelate part of the woman's body onto the screen. just as in the rest of the world women's voices are getting heard, but as yet they

are rarely getting rewarded. you might wonder what is going on behind this curtain of the exhibition. they are showing a very violent clip from a classic korean movie, oldboy. the film was directed by park chan—wook one of south korea �*s most illustrious directors. recently he had a field come out decision to leave,, and i went to meet him to talk about the film. decision to leave tells a story about a detective investigating a suspicious death of a man at the foot of a cliff. his widow seems unmoved as she plays a role in his demise. the detective finds he is attracted to her. the director hopes the ethical

conflict posed in the film can engage the audience. translation: i would say when the emotion _ translation: i would say when the emotion or _ translation: i would say when the emotion or the _ translation: i would say when the emotion or the desire - translation: i would say when the emotion or the desire of- the emotion or the desire of love comes into conflict with social ethics then sometimes love itself becomes a prison for other people. and for some the social ethics become prison for them. that contrast may be that the audience can take away and really think about afterwards.— and really think about afterwards. , . ., ., ,, afterwards. director park chan-wook _ afterwards. director park chan-wook studied - afterwards. director park - chan-wook studied philosophy, chan—wook studied philosophy, he was a film critic, he knows cinema history has long been impressed by british director alfred hitchcock. he has said that hit row�*s psychological thriller vertigo influenced decision to leave. translation: i decision to leave. translation: ., . translation: i watched when i was in college _ translation: i watched when i was in college and _ translation: i watched when i was in college and that - was in college and that inspired me so much that i'd decided to become a filmmaker one day. so i don't thinkable

ever be out of the influence of his cot, and decision to leave is one particular film that shows much influence from him. as i mentioned a clip from old boy was on display at the hallyu at the korean wave exhibition. it is impressively choreographed sequence in a movie that tells the story of a man kidnapped for 15 years who, upon release, attempts to track down his capture. the picture brought south korean cinema a lot of positive international acclaim. translation: i acclaim. translation: ., ., translation: i do agree with ou, but translation: i do agree with you. but it _ translation: i do agree with you, but it was _ translation: i do agree with you, but it was that _ translation: i do agree with you, but it was that the - translation: i do agree with you, but it was that the put i you, but it was that the put korean cinema on the map, but there are other green films before old boy that bought attention to three and caroona models —— cinema. it brought attention to the films. decision to leave does not exhibit much of his extremes,

the closest it comes to expressing social attraction is the touch of a hand. reviews of this rather different park chan—wook film have been strong. its plot terms may be hard to follow, but it is a beautifully accomplished picture and you always know you are watching the work of one of the great masters of world cinema. eversince the great masters of world cinema. ever since parasite on the best picture oscar and the top prize at the cannes film festival, everyone has been wondering what the next big thing will be from korean cinema. well, emma jones has been finding out what lies ahead, what is in the pipeline, what great compelling cinema from south korea is on its way. it's notjust korean autos who are getting more exposure internationally. alien annoyed is a melting pot of time travel, sci—fi aliens, and all

in one big blockbuster. it is pure fun designed to entertain, like the rest of his films. one of career�*s ms curtis —— commercially successful directors, he is credited with introducing the highest genre to korea, most famously in 2012 the thieves, still one of the country's most successful movies. hello. thank you, nice to meet you. i'm met him as the film opened at the london career was —— film festival it has been released in the us and canada and is being in the process of being sold to other countries. translation: �* , ., , translation: a show cast my other film over _ translation: a show cast my other film over ten _ translation: a show cast my other film over ten years i translation: a show cast my other film over ten years ago i other film over ten years ago with the london green film festival and the korean cultural centre and it certainly does feel different. but the audience remains a mystery. my life's focus is on

his huge fan base may well have been considered when he was offered a world premiere at the cannes film festival, but he laboured on the script for four years, long before squid game. translation: i years, long before squid game. translation:— years, long before squid game. translation: i actually had no ambition for _ translation: i actually had no ambition for directing, - translation: i actually had no ambition for directing, in i ambition for directing, in korea, most directors write their own screen plays, i had no faith in being able to write my own, i had been acting for 30 years, i thought maybe producing would be possible, so i've bought the rights for the script, so i'd try to find a director and writer to help me fix the screenplay and drink. it'll be four years to write me as an orifice of i thought because i woke soeharto know i might be best to know how to director, i'd picked up my courage and decided to direct is as well. courage and decided to direct is as well-— is as well. for those who refer is as well. for those who prefer korean _ is as well. for those who prefer korean arthouse, | is as well. for those who i prefer korean arthouse, here are khazir gorry agut shot his latest film broker in south korea. sonkeng hoa parasite

fame is the lead at here again, after he was awarded the time film festival best actor press, this too will have a release. it's a quirky story, with him playing an unusually kindly broke of baby cells, surprised when one mother returns for her baby. translation: ~ ., , ., , ~ translation: with a story like this, if it was — translation: with a story like this, if it was reported - translation: with a story like this, if it was reported on i translation: with a story like this, if it was reported on the i this, if it was reported on the news they would be bad guys brokers trying to sell baby. when you have a camera inside the venue start to see a different side to the characters and they wanted the audience to see a different side of them, a glimpse of what you would not get to see. and i think i do that a lot in my films. they wanted to show a different side to what we see in the media and for people to realise we don't know the whole story.

it is one of the biggest news of all waiting to be unleashed on audiences, rising dragon, it is a prequel to the admiral, the story of how a tiny korean navy defeated a much larger japanese fleet. thanks to this global appetite, japanese fleet. thanks to this globalappetite, korean japanese fleet. thanks to this global appetite, korean films are also able to punch above their weight.— their weight. this exhibition confirmed — their weight. this exhibition confirmed to _ their weight. this exhibition confirmed to me _ their weight. this exhibition confirmed to me that i their weight. this exhibition confirmed to me that south | confirmed to me that south korea has made some of the very best cinema in the world. but there is something on —— and was in all the activity in those themes informed by themes of class warfare and violence. korean cinema is perhaps morning as a sentinel, warning nations where income inequality is growing of the dangers that may lie ahead. well, that brings our korean cinema special to a close. we hope you've enjoyed the programme.

welcome to our forecast for the week ahead which will eventually see temperatures returning closer to the seasonal average. returning closer to the seasonalaverage. but returning closer to the seasonal average. but notjust yet. this weekend, we stick with the milder conditions we have seen of late, because the jet stream is digging its way southwards and then bending northwards again. in this jet stream pattern continues to allow us to tap into this really warm air, we're bringing it up from the south, moving northwards across the uk. we do have a frontal system in the picture. it is a warm front pushing its way northwards across northern ireland and scotland, taking some rain with it. that rain increasingly becoming confined to the far north—west, high pressure across the continent. so actually a lot of dry weather this weekend, it will not be quite as windy as it has been, certainly through saturday the wind is lighter than we have been used to and any lily font will give way to some spells of sunshine across much of

scotland, with the rain retreating authors. not as mild as it has been and the far north, but still 13 or 1a degrees, 17 pulled out of, 18 degrees, 17 pulled out of, 18 degrees for london. as we look ahead to sunday, high pressure holds firm across continental europe. this frontal system does try to work in from the west. ahead of that the breeze will start to strengthen. as with the day with light winds we are likely to see some areas of low cloud and fog across positive is welcome in the midlands, elizabeth of england, could be quite making for these because of scotland as well. sunny spells, another mild day, but we will see cloud and rain into northern ireland late in the day and that will continue to push its way is with on monday. weakening as it ghost, but could be some quite heavy rain moving across the north of scotland. brightness goes following behind. but some slightly cooler air. these temperatures are still above the seasonal norm, but not feeling quite as mild as it has been. take you to the other side of the atlantic to showers you this swirl of cloud, this is x hurricane nicole. the remnants of the storm drifting

across the eastern side of the us. notice the stripe of cloud here, putting in from the west. this is a frontal system which will essentially some assume our former hurricane. these weather systems combining and moving across the atlantic as an area of low pressure. with that injection of tropical moisture, this weather system could bring quite a lot of rain as it passes close to the uk through the middle of the week. on tuesday we will see this band of heavy rain moving actually quite slowly eastwards, so quite a wet day for many of us on tuesday, quite breezy as well, particularly ahead of the rainband. maybe brightness goes returning from the west. temperature still in double digits but not quite as mild as it has been. 10— 1a degrees. the remnants of the weather systems are likely to be affecting parts of northern scotland on wednesday. elsewhere, some sunny spells could well see some heavy showers returning from the south—west. nine degrees for newcastle, 13 for cardiff and for plymouth. you can see those temperatures just beginning to

dip. now, later next week this is thejet dip. now, later next week this is the jet stream pattern, no longer digging all the way south. instead racing across the atlantic, bringing bouts of winds and rain, bringing areas of low pressure and the jet stream to the south of the uk -- uk, it is stream to the south of the uk —— uk, it is going to feel a little cooler. these damages as we have through into next weekend, they are much lower than what we have right now, but actually nothing exceptional for the time of year. it'sjust exceptional for the time of year. it's just closer to what we would expect for november and there will be some wind and rain at times.
