Dive into the author's sincere and profound reflections on life, art, and the quest for self. Through the lens of childhood impressions, love for outsider cinema (from Tom Waits to B movies), and an analysis of the work of masters...
(Kim Ki-young, Scorsese), he candidly explores eternal dilemmas: how to maintain a rebellious spirit in the face of censorship, find a balance between commerce and sincerity, and why creative freedom is the foundation of everything.
“The Worlds of Park Chan-wook: A Candid Portrait of Park Chan-wook, Created by Himself” is not an autobiography, but an inspiring laboratory of thought that will make you see your individuality in a new light and inspire you to live and create more freely.
This book is a key to the universe of Park Chan-wook:
— Obsession with imagery: how staircases, knives, and octopuses became the hallmarks of his unsettling, hypnotic universe.
— Hidden drama in titles: why names like “Oldboy” and “The Handmaiden” are the first key to the psychological abyss of characters.
— Anatomy of cinematic shock: how “Oldboy,” “The Handmaiden,” and “Thirst” rewrote the rules of the genre and conquered the world.
— Aesthetics as alchemy: a mix of Gothic, Freudian depths, and literature fuel his visually shocking machine.
This book is a direct path into the mind of the master through his verbal self-portrait. Understanding through revelation.
