The opening film of the 2001 Venice Film Festival, Kim Ki Duk's harrowing masterpiece Address Unknown is set in the seventies in a small Korean countryside town near a U.S. military base. The auteur maps the psychological aftereffects of war through the desolate lives of three anguished and alienated young people. Chang Guk (Yang Dong Geun, Fighter in the Wind ) hates working for his mother's boyfriend, a cruel and ostracized dog meat vendor, but doesn't fit in elsewhere because of his mixed background. He violently lashes out against those around him including his mother (Bang Eun Jin) who constantly writes to his father, an American soldier who has long left Korea, but the letters are always returned undelivered and stamped with address unknown. Ji Heum (Kim Young Min) is regularly bullied and holds a torch for Eun Ok (Ban Min Jeong), a partially blind girl who keeps to herself until she takes up a relationship with an American soldier (Mitch Malem) who offers to pay for her eye surgery if she becomes his girlfriend. This edition comes with a 36-page booklet and special features including commentary, making of, interview, Venice Film Festival footage and preview.
