All the Rage: The Films That Inspired Lee Sung Jin’s BEEF
DETAILS
Following its critically-acclaimed, award-winning first season, BEEF returns to Netflix on April 16 with an all-new feud in which a young couple witnesses an alarming fight between their boss and his wife, triggering chess moves of favors and coercion in the elitist world of a country club and its Korean billionaire owner. The new season’s stellar cast includes Carey Mulligan (Maestro), Oscar Isaac (Frankenstein), Charles Melton (May December), Cailee Spaeny (Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery), Song Kang-ho (Parasite) and Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-jung (Minari).
To celebrate the new season’s arrival, the Paris Theater is thrilled to present All the Rage: The Films That Inspired Lee Sung Jin’s BEEF, a program of 12 films curated by the BEEF creator beginning Wednesday, March 25. In this all-star lineup of some of cinema’s greatest beefs, simmering tensions, rivalries, and conflicts between strangers, friends, enemies and lovers abound. Whether it’s the knock-down, drag-out marital arguments in classics like Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, the poorly thought-out schemes that spiral out of control in the Coen Brothers’ Burn After Reading, or the labyrinthine plots of deception in Park Chan-wook’s The Handmaiden, it’s clear that Lee drew from a rich cinematic history of uncovered secrets and explosive betrayals when crafting this hotly anticipated new season.
As an added bonus, join us at the Paris on Friday, April 17 for a special free screening of episodes 1 & 2 of the new season of BEEF.
