Korean Film Directors: Park Chan-wook

Film Studies. Asian Studies. This book is an introductory guide to Park Chan-wook, the 2004 Cannes Grand Prix winner and one of the most acclaimed and popular Korean film directors. The book looks within with an insider's eyes and gropes roughly for the root and stems of the cinematic world of Park, who has achieved both critical and commercial success, performing stunts verging on the acrobatic between genre convention and directorial individuality.
