REVIEWS<\/h3>\n
\n\t

\"The first of two remarkable and provocative shorts...The film is essentially a post-Godardian essay, mounted with exemplary wit and full regard for the emotional values of sounds and images.\" - Tony Rayns, Film Critic<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Describe in English the following images: a cheese plate, pots and pans, and bombed-out Korean cities. By inserting images from Koreas past, particularly footage from the Korean War, into an ESL multiple choice quiz, The Third Tongue explores the loss of historical identity in a post-colonial society and equates power with the English language. Son raises an important question as to why Koreans strive to learn the dominant economic language: is it a process of natural evolution or is it based on a fear of an old wound? A haunting look at the legacy of war.\" - 2004 Images Festival<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
