Film Screening: Tae Guk Gi (The Brotherhood of War)

Je-gyu Kang directed this film about a group of Korean archeologists who find a skeleton and identify it as Lee Jin-Seok. But Lee Jin-Seok is still alive; it is his brother, Jin-Tae, who went missing in the Korean War. We travel from the present to 1950, at the start of the Korean War, and see Jin-Seok and Jin-Tae as young men catapulted into a bloody war. Jin-Tae's mind is poisoned by the violence, and Jin-Seok is lost when he finds that he no longer knows his brother. (150 minutes)
