Overview
Based on a serial novel by Cho Hae-il, “Winter Woman” deals with the sexual awakening of Yi-hwa, the daughter of a prosperous Christian preacher who has been raised to be morally and sexually conservative. The book and film earned the condemnation of conservative critics, however the author’s leftist subtext went unchallenged overshadowed by the sexual themes.
