The Gist: Left by her mother in the care of their unsympathetic aunt, 5-year-old Ling must take care of her younger sister as they adjust to a harsher life in the rural countryside of South Korea.
Fact: This was selected for Sundance Institute’s 2006 Directors Lab and was one of 15 selected for the 2007 edition of the Cannes Film Festival’s Atelier de la Cinefondation.
See It:
Much of the reason why I’m looking forward to seeing Treeless Mountain is So Yong Kim’s debut film In Between Days (2006) won a Special Jury Prize for independent vision at Sundance and the FIPRESCI Prize at the Berlin Film Festival.
Release Date/Status?: Currently in post-production, a fall film festival release is foreseeable.
