About This Film

Interestingly, the “” (2011) is the prequel to the 2018 award-winning “House of Hummingbird” and features the same family of Eun-hee, 6 years earlier. Infused with childhood memories and melancholy, “The Recorder Exam” is perfectly stand-alone but it is also an essential view if you have loved the 2018 feature film as it provides an additional insight into Eun-hee's struggle and one more dose of lyricism from director Bora Kim.

Synopsis

It's 1988, the Seoul Olympics are wrapping up and 8-yer-old Eun-hee (a wonderful ) is preparing for her recorder exam. It's her first important challenge and she is striving to get some attention and support from her busy family.

On paper I am an Italian living in London, in reality I was born and bread in a popcorn bucket. I've loved cinema since I was a little child and I’ve always had a passion and interest for Asian (especially Japanese) pop culture, food and traditions, but on the cinema side, my big, first love is Hong Kong Cinema. Then - by a sort of osmosis - I have expanded my love and appreciation to the cinematography of other Asian countries. I like action, heroic bloodshed, wu-xia, Shaw Bros (even if it’s not my specialty), Anime, and also more auteur-ish movies. Anything that is good, really, but I am allergic to rom-com (unless it’s a HK rom-com, possibly featuring Andy Lau in his 20s)"
