Synopsis
Out Live (Bichunmoo, 2000) is a Korean-Chinese historical fantasy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Kim Young-jun with Shin Hyun-jun and Kim Hee-sun.
China, fourteenth century, under Mongol occupation and fractured by civil war. An elite corps of warriors has mastered Bichunmoo — a style of aerial combat unknown outside the order — and answers only to the warlord Chaharlang. One of them crosses paths with a woman the code says he should not know. He knows it. He keeps going back.
Shot as a Korean-Chinese co-production with large-scale battle sequences filmed on location, the film was an ambitious undertaking for Korean cinema in 2000, when the historical fantasy genre was still finding its shape. A solid entry for anyone drawn to the medieval Asian epic tradition beyond the better-known Japanese samurai strain. Stream Out Live online on iFILM.
