About This Book
This is the latest in Seoul Selection's series on Korea's ranking
filmmakers. Written by Kim Young-jin, one of Korea's foremost film
critics, the book-which includes interviews, a biography, filmography
and synopses-examines the cinematic world of Lee Chang-dong, widely
hailed as one of Korea's top directors, despite having produced only
four films to date. Lee's films embrace the scars of Korean history and
reality as well as the illusory nature of the film medium. His latest
work "Secret Sunshine," a comeback film of sorts as Lee returns to
directing after a stint as Korea's Minister of Culture, has been invited
to the Cannes Film Festival. His filmography includes "Green Fish,"
"Oasis," and "Peppermint Candy."
