Peppermint Candy

New 4K Restoration

A powerful work of Korean New Wave cinema and Lee Chang Dong’s second directorial feature, Peppermint Candy spans 20 years in the life of one man, Yongho, from his callow teens through his fraught, self-hating middle age. Presented in seven chapters in reverse-chronological order, the film begins with Yongho’s untimely suicide and ends with a first date full of the promise and verve of youth.
