One of the most successful Korean independent films on record, Han Gong-ju is the harrowing tale of a young girl's struggle to find herself after having the life she knew traumatically taken away from her.
The film begins as Gong-ju, the titular high school student played in a remarkable turn by 26-year-old Chun Woo-hee, is informed she is being forcibly transferred to another school, one where nobody knows her. There, even as she takes tentative steps toward building a new life, she finds she must face the ordeals of her past, the details of which are slowly and sensitively revealed by first-time filmmaker Lee Su-jin. Never allowing his scathing social critique to overwhelm the emotional core of Han gong-ju, Lee has made the most acclaimed Korean film of the year.
