Lee Chang-Dong (Green Fish & Secret Sunshine)

Archaeon

Onto the finishing strait of season one and its many Patreon cross-migrations, this week Rob is joined by Aidan to discuss the work of Lee Chang-Dong.

Lee Chang-Dong had a brief stint with the South Korean government in their culture department, but he is better known for Burning. Such an anarchist, he is. The films we cover are his 1997 debut, Green Fish and his big international breakthrough, 2007’s Secret Sunshine. Both bleak and interesting in their own unique way.

Then, Rob is joined by Bel (FISHNETS_AND_PHILOSOPHY) and Cliff (DEVIL TIMES FIVE) to discuss sundance standout Brian & Charles, as well as Gateway Horror and the Purge Franchise. A fun week all told.

Three more episodes till the end of season break, till then, this has been Directors Uncut. Why not check out our sister podcast POP SCREEN – which I recently appeared on to talk about ‘the man who fell to Earth’. Also, the YOUTUBE where LISTOMANIA will be making its return.
