It is pretty remarkable to realize no South Korean film has ever been nominated for an Academy Award, either in the International category or any other. That is about to change in a very big way as that country’s top filmmaker Bong Joon Ho’sis not only a front runner in the Best International Film category, but it is becoming a major threat in Best Picture, Director , and Screenplay too.
In front of a packed audience of Oscar and key guild voters, the director described how the inspiration for the film came from an early job he held working for a wealthy family in South Korea. Even though he got fired after two months, the seeds of a hit movie were born. He talks about that, as well as his surprise that this very Korean movie has resonated more internationally than any of his previous films, including his English language efforts. He has described it as a “tragicomedy”.
He was joined on stage with an interpreter although he does speak and understand English quite well. Nevertheless you are going to have to read the subtitles to get the real meaning of our conversation. Just click the link above.
