Ieodo (Kim Ki-young, 1977)

I was worried that I might have been too ardently receptive of this the first time I saw it but tonight confirmed the only thing greater than my love for it is my disdain for the Art Gallery cinema audience, buncha feel nothing, reach for nothing losers

Song of the Haenyeo ( Ieodosana /  이어도사나 / "Is he in Ieodo?" )

The remote island of Ieodo is revered as a resting place for the souls of the drowned.  From 1592 to 1953, most of the men on Jeju Island were lost at sea or died abroad, taken away on warships or deep-sea fishing vessels never to return.  In their absence, generations of free-diving mollusk-hunting 해녀 "sea women" became Jeju's main source of food and income.  Unsurprisingly, contemporary Jeju families and folk traditions are more matriarchal, matrilineal, and communal than other regions in Korea.
