AB - This article investigates the influence of French film in Colonial Joseonin the late 1930s. It is well known that in Colonial Joseon, foreign moviesplayed an important part in the formation of modern culture. Recent studiesfocusing on Hollywood films have been based on such thinking.
However, previous articles on foreign films have not dealt with Frenchfilms in depth. Some French films had a popular viewership in the 1930sbut generally it was the highbrows that were the main consumers ofFrench films. Among these consumers were many literary intellectualswho had a deep interest in movies that had been made in France, thecountry of culture and art. This influence was reflected in the works thatthey created.
Firstly, in this article, I examine the factors that were involved in theadoption of French films in Korea. Then I investigate what French movieswere actually offered to the audience, based on documentary data. Finally,I examine how literary intellectuals were influenced by these movies, andhow those influences were associated with their creative activities.
The basic data considered in this discussion are fairly insufficient, andprevious studies on this topic are limited. Because of this, the current articlewas not able to go beyond basic data tabulation. However, it is hopedthat this paper may act as a starting point for studies that may follow inthe future.
