Lee Joon-ik, director of the enormously popular blockbuster The King and the Clown, helms this based-on-fact historical tale set in 1920s Japan. Lee Je-hoon stars as Park Yeol (1902-1974), a reallife revolutionary activist who lived in Tokyo during the Japanese colonial occupation of Korea. Dubbed the “No. 1 crazy Korean rebel in Japan”, Park is portrayed as a mischievous hooligan who collaborated with his Japanese lover, Kaneko Fumiko, to disrupt the activities of their oppressive Japanese overlords, eventually plotting to assassinate the Emperor Hirohito himself. More than a political drama, Anarchist from Colony offers rousing comedy, poignant romance, and terrible tragedy, making for a look at Korea's difficult history with Japan.
