Question: Which film has the director died earlier, The Sea Knows or Ten (2002 Film)?

Ten( appears as 10 during the opening credits) is a 2002 Iranian film, a docufiction directed by Abbas Kiarostami, starring Mania Akbari and Amin Maher. It was nominated for the Palme d' Or at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. <SEP> Kim Ki-young Kim was born in Seoul during the colonial period, raised in Pyongyang, where he became interested in theater and cinema. In Korea after the end of World War II, he studied dentistry while becoming involved in the theater. During the Korean War, he made propaganda films for the United States Information Service. In 1955, he used discarded movie equipments to produce his first two films. With the success of these two films Kim formed his own production company and produced popular melodramas for the rest of the decade. Kim Ki-young's first expression of his mature style was in his" The Housemaid"( 1960), which featured a powerful" femme fatale" character. It is widely considered to be one of the best Korean films of all time. After a" Golden Age" during the 1960s, the 1970s were a low- point in the history of Korean cinema because of governmental censorship and a decrease in audience attendance. Nevertheless, working independently, Kim produced some of his most eccentric cinematic creations in this era. Films such as" Insect Woman"( 1972) and" Iodo"( 1977) were successful at the time and highly influential on the younger generations of South Korean filmmakers both at their time of release, and with their rediscovery years later. By the 1980s, Kim's popularity had gone into decline, and his output decreased in the second half of the decade. Neglected by the mainstream during much of the 1990s, Kim became a cult figure in South Korean film Internet forums in the early 1990s. Widespread international interest in his work was stimulated by a career retrospective at the 1997 Pusan International Film Festival. He was preparing a comeback film when he and his wife were killed in a house fire in 1998. The Berlin International Film Festival gave Kim a posthumous retrospective in 1998, and the French Cinémathèque screened 18 of Kim's films, some newly rediscovered and restored, in 2006. ( October 10, 1919 – February 5, 1998) was a South Korean film director, known for his intensely psychosexual and melodramatic horror films, often focusing on the psychology of their female characters. Through the efforts of the Korean Film Council( KOFIC), previously lost films by Kim Ki- young continue to be rediscovered and restored. Many current prominent South Korean filmmakers, including directors Im Sang- soo, Kim Ki-duk, Bong Joon- ho and Park Chan- wook, claim Kim Ki- young as an influence on their careers. <SEP> Charlotte Sometimes is a 2002 film written, directed, and produced by Eric Byler. <SEP> Thulasi is a 1987 Tamil romantic drama film directed by Ameerjan. The film features Murali and Seetha in lead roles. The film, produced by P. S. V. Hariharan, had musical score by Sampath Selvam and was released on 27 November 1987. The music director died before the release of the film. <SEP> The Sea Knows is a 1961 South Korean film directed by Kim Ki-young. <SEP> An active film- maker from 1970, Kiarostami had been involved in the production of over forty films, including shorts and documentaries. Kiarostami attained critical acclaim for directing the" Koker" trilogy( 1987– 1994)," Close- Up"( 1990)," The Wind Will Carry Us"( 1999), and" Taste of Cherry"( 1997), which was awarded the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival that year. In later works," Certified Copy"( 2010) and" Like Someone in Love"( 2012), he filmed for the first time outside Iran: in Italy and Japan, respectively. His films" Where Is the Friend ’s Home? Close- Up", and" The Wind Will Carry Us" were ranked among the 100 best foreign films in a 2018 critics' poll by BBC Culture. " Close- Up" was also ranked one of the 50 greatest movies of all time in the famous decennial" Sight& Sound" poll conducted in 2012. Kiarostami had worked extensively as a screenwriter, film editor, art director and producer and had designed credit titles and publicity material. He was also a poet, photographer, painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. He was part of a generation of filmmakers in the Iranian New Wave, a Persian cinema movement that started in the late 1960s and includes pioneering directors such as Bahram Beyzai, Nasser Taghvai, Ali Hatami, Masoud Kimiai, Dariush Mehrjui, Sohrab Shahid- Saless and Parviz Kimiavi. These filmmakers share many common techniques including the use of poetic dialogue and allegorical storytelling dealing with political and philosophical issues. Kiarostami had a reputation for using child protagonists, for documentary- style narrative films, for stories that take place in rural villages, and for conversations that unfold inside cars, using stationary mounted cameras. He is also known for his use of Persian poetry in the dialogue, titles, and themes of his films. Kiarostami's films contain a notable degree of ambiguity, an unusual mixture of simplicity and complexity, and often a mix of fictional and documentary elements. Abbas Kiarostami( 22 June 1940 – 4 July 2016) was an Iranian film director, screenwriter, poet, photographer, and film producer. The concepts of change and continuity, in addition to the themes of life and death, play a major role in Kiarostami's works.
