Seeing as how I'm missing the US opening of Pan's Labyrinth and that it's already playing here in Seoul (to my surprise - I just got here last week) -- is there anywhere that I could find an online listing of movies in Seoul and the theaters that they're screening in?
As an aside/followup to my last post -- in Korea do movies like PL play with English subtitles as well as Korean or would I be out of luck? -- now that I think of it. In Indonesia and the Philippines I'm not sure if we ever actually got too many non-English foreign films when I was there (other than Chinese ones and they were mainly dubbed).
Seoul Selection hosts DVD screenings of Korean films in English on Saturday mornings at 11 am. Independent theatre Sponge House offers screenings of English-subtitled films as well. For more information, visit:
