Aimless Bullet (Yu Hyun-mok, 1961): BFI Southbank, NFT3, 8.40pm

This film, which also screens on November 10th, is part of the Golden Age of Korean Films season.

BFI introduction:
Based on Lee Beo-seon’s short novel of the same name, Yu Hyun-mok’s film follows a displaced North Korean family, settled in a Seoul slum, who are struggling to survive in a world devoid of morality and meaning. Influenced by both Italian neo-realism and German Expressionism, and capturing the spirit of the era and the tragedy of the divided nation, Aimless Bullet holds a similar iconic status in Korean cinema to Citizen Kane in Hollywood.

Here (and abobe) is an extract.
