The director attended a screening of his break-through thriller, which was chosen to help mark 100 years of Korean cinema.
South Korean director Park Chan-wook admits he still gets a bit nervous when he watches or even thinks about his breakthrough hit“I have sometimes been scared by the reaction to this movie,” said Park during a discussion tied to a screening of the classic film at the Busan International Film Festival as part of the festival’s celebration of 100 years of Korean cinema. "Like when men ask me to sign their hammers. But to be part of the program to celebrate 100 years is a great honor.
It’s violent – hence the use of those hammers – but it set the template for Korean thrillers as they started to reach out into the world from the turn of the millennium right up to the current Oscar favorite, sets its sights on society’s sicknesses, and then explodes into those moments of ultra-violence.has lost none of its edge, nor its ability to make people squirm in their seats.
The screening at BIFF was sold out, and there were audible squeals when the director made his way on stage for his Q&A session.
