Park Chan-wook

Passionate about cinema from a young age, Park Chan-wook created the Movie Gang club during his studies at Sogang University. His philosophy degree in hand, he took the opportunity to publish several critical essays on cinema before signing his first feature film in 1992: Moon is the sun's dream, a gangster film set in Pusan, one of the largest cities. from South Korea. He continued in 1997 with The trio, a comic portrait of three outlaw characters.


In 2000, the thriller Joint security area established him as one of the major filmmakers of new Korean cinema. The film, relating an investigation into a murder perpetrated on the Bridge of No Return, on the border of North Korea and South Korea, receives several awards including the Best Film and Best Director Award at the Film Festival Asian from Deauville.

2002 is a key year for the filmmaker who distinguished himself by directing Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, a descent into hell of a man who kidnapped a young girl in the hope of treating his sister with the ransom money. A year later, Park Chan-Wook adapted the Old Boy manga with Min-sik Choi in the lead role. Selected in Competition at Cannes (the year in which Quentin Tarantino was President of the Jury), the film won the Grand Prize and in the process dedicated the director to the international scene. The story of this kidnapped man, imprisoned for 15 years and then released for no apparent reason, allowed Old Boy to quickly establish itself as a cult film.


Park Chan-Wook then signs the section entitled Cutof the 3 extremes triptych (in which the prolific Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike and the Chinese Fruit Chan also participate). It features a young filmmaker taken hostage with his wife by a dangerous psychopath. Then he directed Lady Vengeance which wraps up his "revenge trilogy", started with Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and continued by Old boy. A violent work imbued with an incisive black humor that reveals all the talent of the filmmaker.


In 2007, he changed his register with Je suis un cyborg, a love story both wacky and melancholy between two inmates of a psychiatric hospital. A film that he himself describes as a "breath of fresh air"between these different projects and which earned him a distinction at the Berlinale with the Aflred Bauer Prize for the most innovative film in the selection. In 2009, Thirst, This is My Blood, is released on our screens, a fantastic romance in which a priest turned vampire falls in love with his friend's wife.


Three years later, the Korean was exported to the USA for the first time in order to direct Stoker. Not surprising to see the filmmaker in Hollywood so much his revenge trilogy marked the spirits across the Atlantic, in particular his visceral "Old Boy". The film is written by Wentworth "Michael Scofield" Miller and is played by Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska. In 2016, he returned with a Korean-language film, Mademoiselle, a sulphurous thriller adapted from the novel by British author Sarah Waters, "From the tip of the fingers".
