이두용 Lee, Doo-yong│Korea│1980│154min│Color│35mm

양달수 살인사건을 맡아 연루된 인물들을 찾아다니던 오병호 형사는 빨치산 출신 강만호, 황바우와 양달수의 첩이었던 손지혜를 알게 된다. 6•25전쟁 당시 외동딸 손지혜를 데리고 입산했던 ‘공비’ 대장 손석진은, 강만호에게 보물지도와 함께 딸을 부탁한다. 그러나 ‘공비’들은 지혜를 윤간하여 임신시킨다. 손지혜와 황바우는 부부의 연을 맺고 지리산의 보물을 찾으려 하나, 청년대장 양달수의 음모로 황바우는 살인 혐의를 뒤집어쓴다. 1980년 광주항쟁 직후에 완성되었으나 한국 현대사의 질곡을 고스란히 담았기에 검열로 만신창이가 되어, 2006년 복원하기까지 관객을 만날 수 없었던 문제작. 김성종의 소설을 원작으로 삼았으며, 배창호 감독이 <흑수선>(2001)으로 리메이크하기도 했다.

Detective Oh Byeong-ho investigates people related to a murder victim Yang Dal-su. He learns about former communist sympathizers Gang Man-ho and Hwang Ba-wu, and Son Ji-hye, a former mistress of Dal-su’s. During the Korean War, North Korean army leader Son Seok-jin goes into a mountain with his only daughter Ji-hye and asks Gang Man-ho to take care of his daughter and treasure map. However, some North Korean sympathizers gang-rape Ji-hye, who becomes pregnant. Ji-hye and Hwang Ba-wu try to get married and find the treasure buried in Jiri Mountain, but Dal-su frames Ba-wu to make him a murder suspect. The film was completed right after the Gwangju massacre in 1980 but this film, which captured the ordeals in the modern history of Korea, became a mess due to censorship. The controversial film was not released to the public until it was restored in 2006. It is based on the novel by Kim Seong-jong, and a remake Heugsuseon(2001) with the same English title was directed by Bae Chang-ho.
