The Anarchists

1920s Shanghai, dusk. A single paper lantern drifts above an alley where matchboxes bear Korean letters. Five young men move through quiet streets, depositing explosives inside tram seats, mailing manifestos from post offices no one watches. A director of the late 1990s militant-action era raids cinema history without apology.
