kdrama1-3, Exercise 2: Two golden-age films

Model answer (one possible choice):

Madame Freedom (1956, Han Hyung-mo): described as a modern story about female sexuality and Western values; a professor's wife takes a shop job, flirtations and nightlife strain her marriage, and the husband expels her. Hedge: the film's article is a stub and rests on one database synopsis.

The Housemaid (1960, Kim Ki-young, released 3 November 1960): a household falls apart after a manipulative maid enters it. The article says it was discovered by the West more than forty years after its debut, and that Bong Joon-ho says it inspired Parasite. Hedge: the article says the piano teacher "apparently" narrates the film.

Disagreement: the article gives Obaltan's date as 1960 in one section and 1961 in the lead; the Coachman prize is called "Silver Bear Jury Prize" in one place and "Extraordinary Jury Prize" in another.
