Notes
"Perhaps the most 'noiristic' film in the history of Korean cinema"
Captivatingly recreating the world of gangsters with its dark alleyways and secret hideouts, Black Hair may well be described as the most "noiristic" of Korean movies. The community of gangsters, their dubious codes of conduct, the pronounced fatality of the characters' situations, the overly dim lighting and sets that center around basements, the red light district glittering after the rain none of the film's elements, whether formal or substantial, reflects the actual sights and sounds of Korean society. In this respect, Black Hair is a unique film that resembles neither its contemporaries nor its antecedents. The character of Dong-ila crime boss whose Oedipus-like fate is to confine and punish himself with self-made rules is an archetype in Lee Man-hee's films. This type of character recurs consistently in later films by the director.
Afterword:
- Among those credited as the co-writers of the screenplay, "Chu Nam" is Lee Man-hee's nom de plume and "Han Gyeong-hyeon" is the real name of screenwriter Han Wu-jeong.
- According to screenwriter Han Wu-jeong, the titular character in Black Hair was modeled after a real-life prostitute with a disfiguring scar on her face.
Director Bio: Lee Man-hee (1931-1975)
Director Lee Man-hee was born in Hawangsimni-dong Seoul, in 1931, the youngest of 8 children. He participated in the Korean War deciphering enemy codes and duringthe years between 1956 and 1961, he worked as an assistant director under the directors Ahn Jong-hwa, Park Gu and Kim Myeong-je. He made his directorial debut in 1961 with Kaleidoscope (Jumadeung) with the support of Kim Seung-ho, one of the most famous actors of the era. Afterward, he proved that he could make movies that were commercially successful with Call 112(112reul Dollyeora) (1962). He opened a new age of Korean noir and horror with Black Hair (Geomeun Meori) (1964) and The Devil's Stairway (Mauigyedan) (1964). He also opened up new possibilities in Korean art films with Full Autumn (Manchu) (1966)and continued on this stylistic path with Homebound (Gwiro) (1967) and Holiday (Hyuil). With the decline of the Korean movie industry in the 1970s, he received fewer and fewer opportunities to make movies and this coincided with a deterioration of his health and financial situation. He died of liver cirrhosis as he was finishing his film, A Road to Sampo (Sampoganeun gil) (1975).
Algunas capturas:La película es muy curiosa. Seguramente tiene más influencias del noir americano que de otras cosas (por ejemplo, que del cine japonés), pero no se puede negar que este hombre logra hacer algo completamente particular, extraño a veces, extravagante otras, de una cierta belleza otras más. El montaje es un poco raro (sobre todo al principio) pero los personajes (algunos instalados en la sobreactuación, otros más contenidos) tienen fuerza, y es indudable que tiene un buen número de factores para ser un clásico del cine coreano.

No tengo nada que apuntar a la traducción.
Un solo detalle, una recomendación.
A la hora de verla, recomiendo poner un tipo de letra grande (gruesa sobre todo) y de color que no sea el blanco.
En lo personal, por costumbre uso el color amarillo.
