''Chunhyang'' () is a Korean Pansori film directed by Im Kwon-taek, with a screenplay by Kang Hye-yeon and Kim Myung-gon. Distributed by CJ Entertainment, the film was released on January 29, 2000 in South Korea. Lee Hyo-jeong and Jo Seung-woo played Chunhyang and Mongryong, respectively. To date, there have been more than sixteen works based on this narrative, including three North Korean films. Im Kwon-taek's ''Chunhyang'' presents a new interpretation of this oral tradition but it is created for a more global audience." It is the first Chunhyang movie that lyrics of Pansori became part of the screenplay. Therefore, the contents of the Pansori reappear as scenes in the movie. The film uses the framing device of a present-day narrator who, accompanied by a drummer, sings the story of Chunhyang in front of a responsive audience. The film flashes back and forth between the singer's presentation and scenes of Mongryong. It was entered into the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Chunhyang )〕 The film is the first Korean film which was presented at the 2000 Telluride Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/201724/Chunhyang/awards )〕 At the 2000 Asia Pacific Film Festival, it won a Special Jury Award.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.koreanfilmfestival.org/content/view/171/ )〕 It also won an award for Best Narrative at the Hawaii International Film Festival in 2000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hiff.org/about-hiff/history/hiff-2000/ )〕 ==Plot== The film is told through pansori, a traditional Korean form of storytelling that seeks to narrate through song.
