Bong Joon-Ho at the Clay

In anticipation of the theatrical release of director Bong Joon-Ho's
fun and scary monster movie The Host (released March 9) (SF
International Animation Showcase, 2006), we're screening two of his
wonderful earlier films, Memories of Murder (SFIFF, 2004) and Barking
Dogs Never Bite, on March 5. The director is expected to be in
attendance at both. Tickets to these screenings go on sale on February
20.

Memories of Murder A police investigation into a series of brutal
murders in the 1980s becomes a powerful portrait of a repressive
society. Based on Korea's first serial killer case, this elegiac film
offers a commanding sense of story and a tone balanced neatly between
grim humor and tragic helplessness.

Barking Dogs Never Bite Bong's feature debut is a dryly amusing,
character-driven comedy about a lazy college lecturer driven to
distraction by a constantly yipping dog. When he takes action against
the annoying canine, a variety of friends and associates offer their
own thoughts on the matter.
