Korean Cinema
Celebrating the vibrance and immediacy of South Korean cinema.
Bong Joon-ho's Oscar-winning Parasite (2020) may have been many people's first exposure to South Korean cinema, but the celebrated film in fact represented a culmination of two decades' development for a prodiguous generation of cinematic talent. Here we present a selection of modern Korean classics, including works from established directors like Park Chan-wook; but also films that were big homegrown box-office successes yet less widely seen outside Korea. All of them as deserving of wider appreciation as that achieved by Parasite.
