Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Seoul Searching is a collection of fourteen provocative essays about contemporary South Korean cinema, the most productive and dynamic cinema in Asia. Examining the three dominant genres that have led Korean film to international acclaim--melodramas, big-budget action blockbusters, and youth films--the contributors look at Korean cinema as industry, art form, and cultural product, and engage cinema's role in the formation of Korean identities.
Committed to approaching Korean cinema within its cultural contexts, the contributors analyze feature-length films and documentaries as well as industry structures and governmental policies in relation to transnational reception, marketing, modes of production, aesthetics, and other forms of popular culture. An interdisciplinary text, Seoul Searching provides an original contribution to film studies and expands the developing area of Korean studies.
"Students and scholars are hungry for good critical material on South Korean films, and this book is a welcome contribution to this quickly growing area in film studies." -- Corey K. Creekmur, coeditor of Cinema, Law, and the State in Asia
Contributors include Chris Berry, Robert L. Cagle, Diane Carson, Hye Seung Chung, David Desser, David Scott Diffrient, Linda Ehrlich, Frances Gateward, Myung Ja Kim, Suk-Young Kim, Darcy Paquet, Seung Hyun Park, Anne Rutherford, Chi-Yun Shin, Julian Stringer, and Hyangsoon Yi.
