Address Unknown
Innocence is a casualty of war.
Directed by Kim Ki-duk
Produced by Tube Entertainment, Kim Ki Duk Film
A dark, historically grounded meditation on how colonialism, war, and occupation destroy personal bonds and innocence across generations in Korea.
Romances end in blood and the frail hopes of individuals are torn apart in a vile karmic continuity of colonialism, civil war and occupation. After surviving Japanese colonization, Korea became the first war zone of the Cold War. The legacy of war remains today in this divided country.
