Description
Steven Chung's Split Screen Korea offers a fascinating in-depth account of postwar Korean film and popular culture through the remarkable career of Shin Sang-ok, arguably the most important Korean filmmaker of the era.
This study reveals surprising aesthetic and political continuities across distinct phases in modern South Korean history and between South and North Korea, shedding new light on the implications of political partition. By combining close readings of a broad range of films with research on industrial and political conditions of Korean film production, Chung explores how cinematic styles, popular culture, and intellectual discourse bridged the divisions of postwar Korea.
Split Screen Korea is a valuable contribution to our understanding of postwar Korean cinema and its complex relationship with Cold War politics and national division.
