UNDOING, a film by Chris Chan Lee, is making its New York theatrical debut exclusively at The Pioneer Theater on Wednesday, December 5, 2007!
Synopsis
One year after the death of his best friend, SAM returns to Los Angeles determined to find redemption from the past. His mentor and only friend, DON, is a retired gangster with a parallel desire to leave the former world behind. But as Sam tries to balance revenge with reconciliation, he is drawn into the shadowy world he had left behind. Can Sam undo his mistakes before losing what he came back to save?
“It’s been 10 years since Lee made his last film, “Yellow,” which showed to acclaim at the 1997 festival. His new film is an energetic, visually stunning and absorbing neo noir about a Korean American gangster (the excellent Sung Kang) who returns to L.A. after a mysterious absence determined to rectify the past. Yup, it’s got one of those typically pretzel-like film noir plots, but the film works best as a character study of redemption, and Lee’s direction is confident, bold and just a bit messy and reckless (that’s a good thing).” - G.
