Midnight Ballad for Ghost Theater

Midnight Ballad for Ghost Theater (Korean: 삼거리 극장; lit.

One night, while So-dan is working late at the theater, four ghosts appear to her; Wanda, a bulimic ex-kisaeng who obsessively counts her own hair; Elisa, a Joseon Dynasty princess; Ijawa Hiroshi, a Japanese soldier stationed in Korea and Mosquito.

So-dan overcomes her fear of the ghosts and joins them as they perform in the theatre, at night.

She eventually discovers that they were part of an acting troupe, which also included her grandmother and the manager.

Although the film performed only moderately at the box office and had only a limited DVD release, it is gaining reputation as a cult film and has been compared to the work of Tim Burton and to The Rocky Horror Picture Show thanks to its surreal edge.
