Anyone have success in finding more artistic / obscure films in Korea? When I was in Los Angeles, I got my Ozu/Kurosawa/Bergman/Cassavetes/Mizoguchi/Fassbinder/Kieslowski/etc. fix through an awesome indie rental service, but am having a difficult finding works by such directors in Korea. Bittorrent and usenet occasionally cough up the more popular works by these directors, but I was hoping for a more abundant / diverse collection of works.

If anyone's interested in getting a trade circle (DivX, DVD-R, etc.) going, I'd be up for that as well.

For Bittorrent I use: http://www.cinema-obscura.com/

For theaters I go to Cinecube (www.cinecube.net/) in Gwanhamun. There is also another cinema in the neighborhood that had a big Marie Antoinette poster the last time I drove by. I've never been but I want to check it out. Both are near the French Embassy so that might have something to do with it.
