Movies | Kim Ki-duk, Award-Winning South Korean Filmmaker, Dies at 59 Those We've lost He was celebrated for movies centered on society's underbelly, but he was later accused of sexual misconduct. He died of Covid-19. Credit... Gabriel Bouys/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Dec. 17, 2020, 12:42 p. m. ET SEOUL, South Korea — Kim Ki-duk, an internationally celebrated South Korean film director who made movies about people on the margins of society that often included shocking scenes of violence against women, and whose career was dogged by allegations of sexual misconduct, died on Dec. 11 in Latvia. He was 59. The cause was Covid-19 and related heart complications, his production company, Kim Ki-duk Film, said. According to the company, he had undergone two weeks of treatment for the disease at a hospital in Latvia, where he had recently relocated and was reported to have been scouting locations for his next film. Mr. Kim remains the only South Korean director to have won top awards at the three major international film festivals: those in Cannes, Venice and Berlin.
His movies often centered on society's underbelly. One dealt with a coldhearted man who turned a woman he once loved into a prostitute. He also tackled issues like suicide, rape, incest, plastic surgery and mixed-race children. "Crocodile" (1996), his first film, tells the story of a homeless man who lives on the Han River in Seoul and makes a living by stealing cash from victims who kill themselves or by recovering bodies in the river and demanding rewards from grieving families. The man saves a woman from suicide and then rapes her. Image Credit... Jung Yeon-Je/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images "Pieta" (2012) is perhaps Mr. Kim's most recognized film. A deeply unnerving tale, it follows a mother and son on a quest for revenge and redemption and includes graphic scenes of torture and violence. It won the Golden Lion at the 2012 Venice Film Festival. The year before, Mr. Kim had received an award at the Cannes festival for "Arirang, " a documentary about a near-fatal accident that occurred on one of his shoots.
