A Petal Jang Sun Woo, 1996, 101 mins., South Korea May 1980 is a month of infamy in South Korea. In Gwangju, pro-democracy citizens rallied for an end to military rule. On May 12, General Chun ordered elite Korean paratroopers to storm the city with guns ablaze. Atrocities were committed. Outraged, the citizens retook their city and held it for five days before they were overwhelmed. Exact numbers of the dead remain elusive. Official inquiries into this tragedy did not happen until the 1990s. It is South Korea’s Bloody Sunday and Tiananmen. It took Director Jang Sun-Woo fifteen years to locate a producer willing to address this national tragedy. This film is Lee Young-Lan’s first feature-film. She had long been a prominent actress and director of the theatre before branching out to the cinema. She plays the role of the female protagonist’s mother. For her brilliant portrayal, she was awarded the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 1996 Asia-Pacific Film Festival. The film climaxes with a ssitkkim-gut, a shamanistic ritual designed to assuage a heartbroken spirit.
