Synopsis
"When I see her beautiful long hair and short skirt..." The song Saturday Night, sung by Kim Se-hwan, is a timid expression of love towards a girl wearing a short skirt. During the military government of the 1970s, this song was banned for being harmful to Korean society's values and customs. The film "Broken Record" explores a historical period when creative and expressive freedom faced significant threats, with songs frequently being censored for inexplicable reasons. This movie depicts the struggle of individuals who went along with this restrictive mechanism and highlights the resilience of those who had to endure during this period. (Jin. Cho)
