Let’s begin with some images from the films of Kim Kiyoung (19191998) and Imamura Shōhei (1926-2006): animals such as rats, cats, squirrels, pigs, insects, and mostly images of women. [Image 1] As these images show, Kim Kiyoung and Imamura Shōhei are both known as eccentric art house directors with women (that is, gender and sexuality), animals, and the primitive aspects of human beings at the heart of their films. While Imamura was recognized in the West and won the grand prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1983 for Narayama bushiko (The Ballad of Narayama), Kim Kiyoung was (re)discovered in the mid-1990s through a retrospective at the 2 Busan Film Festival. Naturally, Imamura’s work has been widely discussed both academically and journalistically. In contrast, although Kim Kiyoung was a very popular film director from the late 1950s to 1970 in South Korea, he was not well known in the West before he was discovered in the 1990s. This might have been due to the marginality of South Korea during the 1960s and 70s in world film history. During the same period, Japanese cinema had become accepted as ‘art,’ mostly through positive recognition in Western critical media such as Cahiers du Cinéma. But as soon as Kim was introduced to the West via various venues like the Berlin film festival, many film critics pointed out the similarities of his work to those of such Western directors as Douglas

恶欲：金基英和今村翔平的虫女

让我们从 Kim Kiyoung (19191998) 和 Imamura Shōhei (1926-2006) 的电影中的一些图像开始：老鼠、猫、松鼠、猪、昆虫等动物，以及主要是女性的图像。[图片 1] 正如这些图片所示，Kim Kiyoung 和 Imamura Shōhei 都是以女性（即性别和性取向）、动物和人类原始方面为电影核心的古怪艺术导演。今村在西方得到认可，并在 1983 年的戛纳电影节上凭借楢山武士（楢山之歌）获得大奖，而金基英则在 1990 年代中期通过第二届釜山电影节的回顾展（重新）被发现. 自然地，今村的作品在学术和新闻界都得到了广泛的讨论。相比之下，尽管金基英是 1950 年代后期至 1970 年代在韩国非常受欢迎的电影导演，但在 1990 年代被发现之前，他在西方并不为人所知。这可能是由于韩国在 1960 年代和 70 年代的世界电影史上处于边缘地位。在同一时期，日本电影已被接受为“艺术”，主要是通过《电影手册》等西方批评媒体的积极认可。但当金正恩通过柏林电影节等各种场所被介绍到西方时，许多影评人指出他的作品与道格拉斯等西方导演的作品有相似之处 日本电影已被接受为“艺术”，主要是通过《电影手册》等西方批评媒体的积极认可。但当金正恩通过柏林电影节等各种场所被介绍到西方时，许多影评人指出他的作品与道格拉斯等西方导演的作品有相似之处 日本电影已被接受为“艺术”，主要是通过《电影手册》等西方批评媒体的积极认可。但当金正恩通过柏林电影节等各种场所被介绍到西方时，许多影评人指出他的作品与道格拉斯等西方导演的作品有相似之处
