Screening of The Aimless Bullet 1961 with subtitles this Saturday

Screening of The Aimless Bullet 1961 with subtitles this Saturday


This Saturday, September 6, at 3pm, the Royal Asiatic Society Cinema Club and Seoul Film Society will have a free screening of the 1961 Yu Hyeon-mok film Aimless Bullet (???) with English subtitles at Seoul Global Centers Haechi Hall in Myeongdong. Based on Lee Beom-seons 1958 short story of the same name (which can also be translated as the misfire or, stray bullet), which can be downloaded in translation here, Aimless Bullet has been regarded as the best Korean film ever made in numerous critics polls over the past few decades. Influenced by Italian neo-realism and concentrating on using montage and sound to communicate, Yu tells the story of a family trying to get by in post-war Seoul, which the short storys translator, Marshal Pihl, described in 1967 as "a degraded society where only the mad, corrupt, or infantile seem to survive, where traditional values have given place to money as the only standard." Ill give a brief introduction to the film, which will be followed by a discussion of the film for those wishing to take part.

Directions to Seoul Global Centers Haechi Hall can be found here, and more information about the film is here, and the screening, here.
