WHAT: For a limited time, fans will have the opportunity to purchase an annual subscription to Magnolia Selects for $24.99, half off the regular price of $49.99. Available only to new subscribers that maintain a subscription past the free trial period, the promotion, in celebration of Director Bong Joon-Ho’s six nominations at the 2020 Academy Awards®, will allow fans to revisit his earlier works, including “Barking Dogs Don’t Bite,” “Mother,” and “The Host.”
Joon-Ho’s directorial debut, “Barking Dogs Don’t Bite,” tells the story of an out-of-work college professor driven out-of-mind by the barking dogs in his apartment complex and the extreme measures taken to fix the problem. Placed on several top 10 lists in 2007 and nominated for various awards, including Blue Dragon, Asian Film and Saturn Awards, “The Host” told the horrifying story of a monster kidnapping one man’s daughter and his heroic attempts to save her, becoming the highest-grossing South Korean film at the time.
“Mother” is a tale of a fiercely protective mother who, when her mentally ill son becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a young woman, takes the law into her own hands to prevent the nightmarish end of her family. Similar to his earlier works, “Mother” became popular amongst critics and award associations, and the film ultimately became South Korea’s official submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 82nd Academy Awards.
The annual subscription will also give fans access to Magnolia Pictures’ expansive catalog of critically acclaimed indie and award-winning films including works from celebrated filmmakers including Academy Award-winner Alex Gibney, Academy Award-winner James Marsh, Academy Award and Golden Globe®-Nominee Lars Von Trier, Academy Award and BAFTA nominee Luca Guadagnino and many more.
WHEN: The offer is only available to new subscribers until February 10th.
