Yeongja’s Heydays

Lincoln Square

A rare chance to catch a restored 1975 Korean classic that hits harder than it has any right to. Yeom Bok-soon delivers a funny, proud, and heartbreaking performance as a young woman navigating Seoul's harsh economic ladder: from factory floors to bar stools, losing an arm but never her spirit. The film mixes crowd-pleasing emotion with sharp social observation, critiquing patriarchy and meritocracy without softening the blow.
