You can stream Aema (2025) on Netflix with a subscription.

In 1980s Korea, a movie star and a starlet defy male-dominated industry rules and backstage corruption while filming the provocative "Madame Aema."

This period piece swaps typical historical melodrama for a sharp, subversive look at the female rebels operating behind the camera in 1980s cinema. It finds its pulse in the friction between old-school industry corruption and the defiant ambition of two women fighting for their own narrative.
