Our RSVP list is currently full, but we will have a “Stand-by” line where non-RSVP guests will be seated on a first-come, first-serve basis if there are seats available. The doors will open at 6:15pm.

All CKS screenings are OVERBOOKED to ensure seating capacity in the theater, therefore seating is not guaranteed based on RSVPs. The RSVP list will be checked in on a first-come, first-serve basis until the theater is full. Once the theater has reached capacity, we will no longer be able to admit guests, regardless of RSVP status. Thank you.

The Film Screening will begin at 6:30pm, immediately followed by an open Q&A with the Director Ryoo Seung-wan. The film will have English subtitles.

Moderators:
Namhee Lee, Associate Professor of Modern Korean History, UCLA Asian Languages & Cultures Department

Movie Synopsis -

After an international auto theft sting, a dimwitted detective Do-chul is treated to a night at a club where he meets Sun-jin Group third-in-line, Tae-oh, whose rude behavior rubs Do-chul the wrong way. Convinced Tae-oh is a drug addict, Do-chul tries to investigate, but is stopped by his boss. However, Do-Chul decides to take matters in his own hands when Mr. Bae–a truck driver who helped Do-chul with his auto theft case–gets humiliated and beaten in front of his 9-year old son for Tae-oh’s amusement.
