Technically Joon-ho only directed a third of Tokyo, one of the countless omnibus films centered around a metropolitan city (what wasthat about), but the movie played in theaters (I saw it there!) and is actually available to purchase (on Amazon Prime). Also, his section (entitled “Shaking Tokyo”) is totally amazing and easily the best of the three ...
Joon-ho made his feature directorial debut with Barking Dogs Never Bite, a bleak comedy that he also co-wrote, about a frustrated, dumb-ass out-of-work professor (Lee Sung-jae) who, bothered by the sound of a dog barking in his complex, sets out to kill the offending pooch. (Fair warning: there is a lot of dog murder/abuse in this movie, to the poi...
With Snowpiercer, Bong went big. Budgeted at $40 million (it’s still the most expensive Korean movie ever), it was based on a high-concept French comic book by Jacques Lob and featured a major, starry cast that includes Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer, John Hurt and, of course, Song Kang-ho. Set in a post-apocalyptic future where an att...
When Godzilla was released in 1954, director Ishirō Honda used the now iconic monster as a way to dramatize the effects the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki had on the people and culture of Japan. Similarly, Bong Joon-ho crafted his monster movie, The Host, around an incident that happened in South Korea in 2000 when a mortician, working f...
Joon-ho has always known how to move the camera, how to get several scenes’ worth of work in a single uninterrupted shot, in a way that rivals Steven Spielberg. But with Okja, Joon-ho crafted a fable, alternately gentle and brutal, that is Amblin-worthy in its depiction of a relationship between human and non-human characters and in the general won...
Mother might be Bong Joon-ho’s least appreciated and most underseen film, which is a shame because it is incredible. The set-up for Mother is simple: in a lonely village an unnamed widow (Kim Hye-ja) lives as an herbalist with her teenage son Yoon Do-joon (Won Bin), who has some developmental problems and hangs out with a low level criminal named J...
The movie that made Bong Joon-ho a household name. And for good reason. Winner of the Palme d’Or, Best Picture Oscar, Best Foreign Feature Oscar, and Best Director Oscar, Parasite was universally beloved and puzzled over, a movie that Joon-ho thought was too esoterically regional but wound up getting widespread, unanimous praise. (It is also the hi...
What sophomore slump? For his second film, Bong Joon-ho decided to adapt a stage play (by Kim Kwang-rim), teaming with Shim Sung-bo to dramatize the story of one of South Korea’s first known serial killers (he murdered at least 10 women between 1986 and 1991). Memories of Murder is so brilliant because the killings took place in rural farm country,...
He first became known to audiences and achieved a cult following with his directorial debut film, the black comedy Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000), before achieving both critical and commercial success with his subsequent films: the crime thriller Memories of Murder (2003), the monster film The Host (2006), the science fiction action film Snowpie...
