Korean Film Directors

von ,

When HONG Sangsoo’s debut work, ‚The Day a Pig Fell into the Well‘ was released in May 1996, the nation’s film critics were thrown into shock. The cinematic language in the film was unprecedented in Korean film history. Since then, HONG has continued to show his own distinctive style with near perfection in his following works. This book, written by HUH Moonyung, one of the most distinguished film critic in Korea, is intended to help readers to better understand the cinematic world of HONG Sangsoo. The book also includes the analyses of a prominent film critic, David Bordwell and a renowned French film director, Claire Denis.
