If you're done catching up with the Oscar nominated films, here's a edifying diversion for you. Film at Lincoln Center is doing a mini 5 film Youn Yuh-jung celebration for her Oscar run in Minari. Unfortunately the series only looks at her work as a revered senior citizen actress, but it's still worth noting. Films are $12 to stream (except Minari which is $19.99) or $32 for a bundle of four...

Youn Yuh-jung and the great Jeon do-Yeon in "The Housemaid"

Among the films we can highly recommend the erotic thriller The Housemaid (2010). It was my personal introduction to Youn Yuh-Jung and she's just fabulous in it in a key supporting role -- you can see I almost even nominated her for Supporting Actress that year

We were hoping with their film connections they'd screen something really rare. Would LOVE to see her debut in Woman of Fire (pictured left, 1971) or Be a Wicked Woman (pictured right, 1995) for the title and plot alone. The film is about two women plotting to kill their husbands.
