2017년 8월 마지막 주, 샌디에고 AMC 패션 벨리 영화관에서 상영하는 한국 영화가 두편이나 있습니다! “택시운전사”와 “청년경찰” 입니다.

Looks like “A Taxi Driver” has been extended another week! According to the AMC Fashion Valley website, this movie is scheduled to be screened until at least Wednesday. It is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it were extended for another week!

Another Korean movie that’s been playing at AMC Fashion Valley since Friday, Aug 25, is “Midnight Runners”. Check out the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJf3lqjosUo

영화 줄거리
영화는 일본에서 나고 자란 조선학교 학생들이 북한을 방문하는 여정을 함께 한다. 2주일 간 북한에 체류하면서 아이들은 ‘조국’에서 만난 사람들과 얘기도 나누고 함께 노래도 부른다. 분단의 상징인 판문점에서 고향땅인 남쪽(한국)을 바라보며 아직도 전쟁중이라는 비극을 실감하기도 한다. 이국에서 태어난 아이들에게 있어서 조국이란 무엇인가? [제 8회 DMZ국제다큐영화제]

[Korean Movie in SD] “Tunnel 터널” Opens in AMC Fashion Valley on Fri, Aug 26

the_tunnel_28korean_movie29-p1

하정우 주연의 한국영화 ‘터널’, 8월 26일 금요일 샌디에이고 AMC 패션밸리 영화관에서 개봉합니다.

Just a week after the film “Operation Chromite” opened screenings in San Diego, another Korean film will be released for the San Diego audiences, but this time at the AMC Fashion Valley on Friday, August 26. This is according to the San Diego Korean Community site, SDSARAM.com. As of today, AMC Fashion Valley’s website does not show “Tunnel” listed on its Friday showtime schedule, but I’m hoping SDSARAM is accurate in its reporting and that we will be able to watch this film starting Friday!

According to YouTube channel “Drama Movie Fun”, ‘Tunnel’ is based on the novel with the same time by author So Jae-won. It is about a man, who is trapped in a tunnel and tries to get out of it. Ha Jeong-woo will play the protagonist, who is trapped in a tunnel due to careless construction. It received great reviews from Korean critics and a critic from the Variety seems to be quite impressed with it as well.
