여판사(1962) / A Woman Judge ( Yeopansa )

A judge's standing at work feeds her husband's resentment and gives his stepmother licence to torment her at home, until that same stepmother lands in the dock on a murder charge and needs defending. Hong Eun-won, one of the very few women directing in Korea at the time, gives her heroine a courtroom win and a peace at home that never looks entirely safe.
