Chilsu and Mansu (칠수와 만수 - Chilsu wa Mansu) is a 1988 South Korean film, and noted director Park Kwang-su's debut film. Though not a box-office hit, the film is remembered as a major step towards freedom of expression in South Korean cinema.[2]
[edit] Synopsis
Chilsu, a talented young artist, makes his living painting theatrical posters. He quits his job to join Mansu painting billboards. Chilsu dreams of joining his sister in the United States, but loses contact with her. Mansu's father has long been a political prisoner. The two men spend their free time at discos and drinking with their student friend Jin-A. After Mansu's fathers is denied leave for his hwangab, or 60th birthday celebration, and they discover that Jin-A has entered an arranged marriage, the two climb onto a roof over a billboard they have painted and begin venting their frustrations at the crowd below. Police interpret their actions as suicidal. When the police attempt to intervene, Mansu falls, and Chilsu is led away in police custody.[3]
