Paran daemun (Birdcage Inn). 1998. South Korea. Directed by Kim Ki-Duk. Screenplay by Kim Ki-Duk. With Ji-eun Lee, Hae-eun Lee, Jae-mo Ahn, Hyeong-gi Jeong, Min-seok Son. Birdcage Inn, Kim's third film, was his first to garner international critical acclaim. Egon Schiele's portraits of nude prostitutes were a major influence on the filmmaker, and he begins Birdcage Inn with the arrival of a young prostitute in a coastal town with one of these portraits under her arm. She soon takes up residence in a down-at-the-heels guesthouse, the Birdcage Inn, where the family who runs the establishment continually interferes with her life and trade. In Korean; English subtitles. 105 min.
