About To the Starry Island
Two men have returned to their hometown (the titular island) from Seoul to bury the father of one of them, but the islanders vehemently refuse their request, triggering memories of their childhood before and during the Korean War.
Directed by Park Kwang-su, To the Starry Island leans on a strong ensemble — Ahn Sung-ki, Moon Sung-keun, Huh Joon-ho — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about fantasy titles of 1993.
