As “Anarchist from Colony” had a successful opening Wednesday in Korea, topping Korea’s box office, expectations are high for its performance outside of the country. 

The movie was released at CGV Cinemas in Los Angeles and Buena Park, California, on Thursday and Friday, respectively. The movie is also set to release in Oasis Cinema in Dallas, Texas, on July 7.

The film is based on the true story of a self-proclaimed anarchist and revolutionary named Park Yeol, remembered here as a freedom fighter during Japan’s colonial rule of Korea.

The movie also highlights the passionate relationship between Park Yeol and his lover Fumiko Kaneko, a Japanese nihilist who sympathized with Koreans oppressed under Japanese rule.
