Wildflower in the Battlefield

(DEULGUGHWANEUN PIETNEUNDE, Man-hui Lee, South Korea 1974, 102min., Korean/subtitles)

The Korean War is seen through the eyes of a mute boy who becomes a mascot to a group of soldiers near the front lines. A companion film to The Marines Who Never Returned (see March 11), Wildflower revisits a favorite subject of the prolific and popular director Lee: the destructive war he actually witnessed.
