SELaplana >> DVD, Movie >> Shin Sang Ok Collection – Korean Movies

Legendary Korean director Shin Sang Ok passed away in April 2006 at the age of 80. In recognition of the master filmmaker’s contributions to Korean film, he was posthumously awarded the Gold Crown Cultural Medal, the highest honor for an artist. In a career spanning over half a century, Shin directed over 70 films and produced over 100 more. A driving force of Korean cinema during the 1950s and 1960s, his production company Shin Films put out hundreds of films during this period, helping to forge the industry’s Golden Age. Shin also formed a partnership with Hong Kong’s Shaw Brothers studio in the 1960s, opening new doors for both industries with massive co-productions.

Other than a great film legacy, Shin Sang Ok also leaves behind one of the most interesting real-life stories the Korean film industry has to offer. Shin and his actress wife Choi Eun Hee were kidnapped in 1978 by orders of Kim Jong Il, who wanted the director to help build North Korea’s film industry. Shin was held in North Korea for eight years, during which time he directed seven films, before managing to escape. In the early 1990s, he directed briefly in the United States, where he had sought political asylum, and finally returned to his native South Korea in 1994.

The Shin Sang Ok Collection comes with the following five films:

A Romantic Papa (1960) Seong Chun-hyang (1961) My Mother and Her Guest (1961) Deaf Sam-ryong (1965) Thousand Year Old Fox (1969)
