Description
New Korean Cinema: Breaking the Waves explores the transformation of South Korea's film industry from the late 1980s to the 2000s. Darcy Paquet examines the impact of government censorship, Hollywood influence, and social change on contemporary Korean cinema.
The book considers a range of films, including Sopyonje, Peppermint Candy, Oldboy, and The Host, in their historical context alongside key directors such as Hong Sang-soo, Kim Ki-duk, Park Chan-wook, and Bong Joon-ho. This study provides insight into the diversification and commercial strength of contemporary Korean films.
