Abstract

Although officially categorized as "military enlightenment" and "anticommunist" by the Park Chung Hee regime, the war films directed by Yi Man-hŭi (Lee Man-hee)—one of the most important auteurs in South Korea's cinematic Golden Age of the 1960s—transcend formulaic genre constraints and deserve special attention for their humanistic approach to the Korean War.
