Last, but not least : Jagko (1980). The title means 'asymmetric nose' in Korean, which is the nickname of a protagonist.

Sure hope the two first are still coming next month. Also wouldn’t say no to Mandala (Im Kwon-taek, 1981) which is probably the best Korean film ever made, this is so beautiful and it would look wonderful on Blu-ray.sabbath wrote: Mon Mar 12, 2018 7:50 am More info:

Not a fan of the artwork for Jagko, but it might grow on me. The inner print also looks pretty compressed.

It turned out that the previous artwork was just a draft. Even the English title has been changed. Here's the new, final, official artwork of Ieodo.

Looks like Yeong-ja's Heydays has been dropped for 2018. Instead, we're getting Lee Man-hee's A Day Off (a director not to be confused with the cult leader Lee Man-hee). The release date is December 11th.

Are the KOFA releases one pressing only deals? I wasn't surprised to see that the early releases were OOP, but I am surprised that something like The Housemaid seemingly hasn't had a standard amaray or anything since.
Re: Korean Film Archive

I exchanged a few e-mails with the Korean Film Archive. Due to demand, they're considering a re-release of The Housemaid. They're going to decide on that early March, with any release happening in June.
Their planned Blu-Ray releases for 2020 are:
Early Rain (Jin-woo Jeong, 1966)
Nambugun: North Korean Partisan in South Korea (Chung Ji-young, 1990
A Flower in Hell (Shin Sang-ok, 1958)

Mother and a Guest (Shin Sang-Ok, 1961)
