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 cinematic world of PARK, who has achieved both critical and commercial success, performing stunts verging on the acrobatic between genre convention and directorial individuality.

A Worthy Purchase,

This review is from: Korean Film Directors - 'PARK Chan-wook' (Paperback)
Despite its small size, this book has plenty of info to help appreciate PARK Chan-Wook's movies (up thru _Cyborg_). The sections are as follows: Intro; On the Director; Interviews; Biography; Synopsis; and Filmography. It's pretty readable, though there are occasionally some rarefied lit-crit bits here and there. I've scoured other resources for info on PARK, and this book surpasses most of them. Only complaint: though PARK himself referred to the "Cut" segment of _3...Extremes_ as one of his favorite works, it basically is given only a synopsis. I found "Cut" to be pretty funny, and wish they'd covered it more in this book.
