Arirang Sonata Premiere

In “Arirang,” controversial Korean filmmaker Kim Ki-duk re-enacts his spiritual, mental and professional breakdown after an accident nearly killed his lead actress on the set of his 2008 film, “Dream.” Up until this point Kim had been prolific, making 15 films in 12 years and deeply dividing critics and audiences with his raw cinematic style, disturbingly violent scenes and animal cruelty. However, the accident stopped him dead in his tracks and Kim locked himself away in a remote cabin in self-imposed exile to overthrow his wracking guilt and examine his priorities as a film director and as a human being.
