South Korean film “Beautiful” (Ahreumdapda) has been invited to screen at the 58th Berlinale International Film Festival. The film festival will run from Feb. 7th-17th in Berlin, Germany. “Beautiful” is directed by first time feature length film director Jae-heung Jeon and includes starring performances by Su-yeon Cha (For Eternal Hearts) and Cheon-hee Lee (The Agressives). The film has a decided art house feel and will be screened in the non-competition Panaroma section.

South Korean films that screened at last year’s Berlinale were Chan-wook Park’s “I’m A Cyborg, but That’s OK,” Sang-soo Hong’s “Woman on the Beach,” : Hee-il Leesong’s “No Regret,” Yoon-ki Lee’s “Ad Lib Night,” and Hae-young Lee’s “Like A Virgin.” Other Asian films of interest to appear at this year’s Berlinale Festival are Yoji Yamada’s “Kaabee” and Johnnie To’s “Sparrow.”

“Beautiful” will open theatrically in South Korea on February 14th. Expect a preview of the movie in the coming days.
