The 1961 South Korean classic, AIMLESS BULLET (OBALTAN) has been selected to participate in Cinema Reborn, a season of restored classics screening at the Ritz Cinema Randwick.
AIMLESS BULLET masterfully captures the collective anxiety of post-war Korea through the characters of clerk Cheol-ho and his family - his mother who lives with a mental illness, his bank-robber brother and his sex-worker sister. Through this family microcosm, the film explores the enduring sense of hopelessness that permeated Korean society after the Japanese occupation instituted a culture of domination and exploitation.
Banned shortly after its first screenings by the then military government, the film has now been painstakingly restored by the Korean Film Archive. Cinema Reborn’s screening will be the first for the restoration in Australia.
WHEN: 11:00AM, Saturday May 1
WHERE: Ritz Cinemas, Randwick
