Publisher's Synopsis
Film lovers from all around the world applauded Bong Joon-ho's achievement of winning the 2020 Academy Award for Best Picture with his film Parasite. This was the first time a non-English film won Best Picture in Oscar history.
Although his success has brought a lot of novel attention to the realm of Korean film, this genre is still somewhat alienated from the circle of world cinema.
As part of this important movement in Korean film, this book can act as a guide to Western audiences who are interested in Korean movies but are unsure where to start. This book includes Korean films that were released between the early 2000s and present.
