Splendid Outing Blu-ray
'Splendid Outing' Director: Kim Soo-yong (1978) Radiance Limited Edition Blu-ray | 4K scan | Korean w/ English subtitles
Following a dream about her dead twin sister, a thriving corporate tycoon takes a drive to the seaside. But her splendid outing becomes a nightmarish one when she is kidnapped and forced to live with a gruff island fisherman who insists that she is his runaway wife.
Featuring a timely message about political oppression that evaded the stringent censors of the day, this daring modernist work from prolific Korean cineaste Kim Soo-yong (Mist) stands as one of the boldest works of Korean cinema’s darkest era — the 1970s.
