Korea, 2002, color, 104 min.
The Korea Society's monthly Classic Movie Night series of films set during the period of Japanese occupation will continue this Thursday, March 19th, 2009 at 6:30 PM with this 2002 directorial debut by Hyeon-seok Kim.
Overcoming disapproval from their elders, class tensions and uncertain times, the unlikely heroes of the YMCA Baseball Team bring hope to a Korea on the cusp of subjugation by Japan. Director Hyeon-seok Kim (who previously wrote JSA: Joint Sceutiry Area) directs audience-favorite Kang-ho Song in this funny and heartwarming paean to baseball and the nation.
