Director Park Chan-wook's first collection of critical essays, which embodies the primal human desires, guilt, and reflections on salvation through his own unique mise-en-scène, has been republished with a new cover.
Director Park Chan-wook, who has won awards at the Cannes Film Festival (for “Thirst” and “Oldboy”) and the Berlin International Film Festival (for “I’m a Cyborg, But That’s Okay”) and the LA Film Critics Association Award (for “The Handmaiden”), and is invited to various international film festivals several times a year, is scheduled to release his first new film in six years, “Decision to Leave,” starring Tang Wei, this year, and is also busy preparing an HBO drama starring Robert Downey Jr.
In addition, in his first solo exhibition in 2021, “Your Expression” (Kukje Gallery Busan), unlike his previous film works that focused on people, he presented photographs of still lifes and landscapes from around the world that the director discovered himself, excluding people.
These are the results of a deep look into the emotions that the vitality found in visual objects that seem like 'inanimate objects' brings to oneself.
Although it seems like he had a smooth ride from the beginning thanks to his impressive resume, there were, of course, twists and turns.
His debut film and subsequent works in 1992 did not garner the expected response, leading to a bitter hiatus for the director, who worked part-time as a film critic and at a video store.
He revealed that there was a time when he wrote solely to make money, and it turns out that he first stood out as a critic before becoming known as a film director. In his writings, we can discover the source of imagination and inspiration for Park Chan-wook, the representative director of South Korea.
"Park Chan-wook's Homage," a selection of 125 films based on his tastes, is a tribute to the films that satisfied his curiosity and passion for cinema.
This cover has been redesigned with two photos from Director Park Chan-wook's previously mentioned photo exhibition, "Your Expression."
This is a photo of the shadows beyond the stairs illuminating an unknown path.
This book contains not only his appearance as a film director, producer, and critic, but also his side as a photographer.


The 'joint of narrative' that connects the skeleton of the composition while tying the knot of the story is the monologue here.
The monologues of Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, and Maggie Cheung are all in the form of a kind of reminiscence, but the audience cannot know when and under what circumstances they are reminiscing.
If we know anything, it's only about their past.
It is a confusing dream rather than a happy memory, a dream too beautiful to be a nightmare, and a depressing dream too good to be a good dream… … .
〈Abijeongjeon〉 is a mysterious dream.

Wim Wenders' road movie, which has always questioned human identity, now speaks for itself and takes on the identity of civilization, or more precisely, technology, as its subject.
And the conclusion that comes after deep reflection is a refreshing praise.
We should call this attitude compromise rather than neutrality.

The story begins under beautiful and bright sunlight and gradually moves into a dark and unclean environment and indoors.
Money realizes that he can never be free from his past, that he is becoming increasingly addicted to violence, and that he will eventually end up in hell.
Although the subsequent editing identifies Delilah with his wife, salvation is already too late.
