We are back for more on podcast favourite, Park Chan Wook, as part of the Directors Uncut Cycle. Join Rob, Andrew, James and Ben for more chat about the korean director made famous by the Vengeance Trilogy and part of a trio of men who launched Korean Movies onto the world at large.
We looked at one of his outliers and sole straight-horror feature, 2009’s Thirst. Then, we hop skip and jump over to his most acclaimed movie, his most recent classic, The Handmaiden from 2016. We also chat about his career at large, vampire movies from asia and his incorporation of comedy into very, very, very dark movies.
If you enjoy this episode, you can get more of the same over on PATREON. We have our spin off podcast, Uncut from the Video Aisle, which has two more episodes on Hong Kong favourite, Mr Vampire, before we launch into our next mini-series. And there’s also our monthly check in podcast, Last Night and a bonus episode of our sister pod, Pop Screen.
