A universe populated by strange characters and impressive visual elements, a world where sounds and images create a unique sensibility, this is the atmosphere of the Korean director’s movies.
His unbeatable passion for film, first shown with a cinema-club he created, called the “Sogang Film Community”, is enhanced by Park Chan-wook’s love for philosophy, that he studied at Sogang University.His impressive filmography includes both Asian and Hollywood films such as Oldboy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance or Stoker.
One of the recurrent themes of his movies is revenge which, according to the Korean director, is utterly futile and it wreaks havoc on the lives of everyone involved.The numerous awards are the ultimate proof of his unique talent, from Grand Prix at The Cannes Film Festival from 2004 to Golden Bear for Best Short Film at Berlin Film Festival in 2011.
