Untold Scandal
dir. E J-Yong | 2003 | 120mins

Tuesday, Oct. 5th, 8pm
ImaginAsian Theater, 239 E. 59th St., (b/n 2nd & 3rd Ave.)

Set at the dusk of the Chosun dynasty in the late 18th century, UNTOLD SCANDAL translates all characters from Choderlos de Laclos' Les Liaisons Dangereuses into Korean archetypes of an unspoken but highly regulated social fabric. The cold and perverse male lead is played by Korean sex icon Bae Yong-jun, the commanding Lee Mi-Suk redefines psychological manipulation as his stunning royal cousin (a role played by Glenn Close in Stephen Frears' Dangerous Liaisons) and Jeon Do-yeon evokes the romantic equation of goodness and decorum as the young widow who falls victim to their destructive scheming.

By turning de Laclos' controversial tale of conquest, love and betrayal into an exquisite Korean tragedy of manners, director E J-Yong infuses UNTOLD SCANDAL with the perfect blend of cultural specificity, Machiavellian eroticism and human poignancy. Upper class debauchery never looked this sharp.
