Film Movement has provided a promotional trailer for the new 4K restoration of Kwak Jae-young's My Sassy Girl (2001), which is expected to be released on Blu-ray later this year.
The 4K restoration will premiere at the New York Asian Film Festival on July 18.
Also included with this announcement is a new poster.
Description: Ignited by what may be the most hilariously disastrous meet-cute in cinema history, MY SASSY GIRL reinvented the romcom with wild aplomb. An unassuming young man's whole world is turned upside down when a beautiful and ferocious female force of nature takes his life by storm. Their ensuing tumultuous relationship both scales the heights of blockbuster movie fantasies and descends the poignant depths of heartache in this outrageous and uplifting ode to true love.
Based on a South Korean netizen's blog of reportedly true stories about his girlfriend, the film proved a massive sleeper hit and one of the most influential Asian films of the 21st century. A must-see contemporary classic, MY SASSY GIRL is an "unabashed crowd-pleaser that mixes genres with the audacious abandon that makes Korean cinema so much fun" (Film at Lincoln Center). Presented newly restored in 4K from the original negative.
