CHUNHYANG, is an adaptation of a popular Korean folk tale. The movie
takes place in 18th century Korea, where Mongryong, the son of the
Governor of Namwon, is studying before he goes to school in Seoul.
Before leaving, he meets and falls in love with Chunhyang, the beauti-
ful daughter of a local courtesan. Mongryong proposes to her and weds
her in secret, but is soon called to Seoul for his schooling. While he
is away, a new governor is appointed to the province, and he demands
that Chunhyang become his courtesan. When she refuses, he sentences
her to death. Visually stunning and formally daring, CHUNHYANG uses
the ancient operatic tradition of pansori, a narrative art that uses
dance and song, to heighten the film's drama and to provide an
additional layer of depth to the already powerful folk tale.
