Abstract: | Kim Ki-duk's 2001 film Address Unknown presents a political allegory of modern Korea by referencing past traumas through local characters set in a U.S. military base town in 1970. The physical and emotional scars of past violence reveal current victimization re-enacting social injustice. Cold War militarism and the U.S. presence shatter the lives of three young people and the community as they internalize the destruction of their lives. |
