Biography

Park Chan-wook is one of world cinema's supreme stylists — a Korean director whose Vengeance Trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance) redefined global cinema's relationship with violence, aesthetics, and moral complexity. Oldboy's Cannes Grand Prix win brought Korean cinema to world attention years before Parasite. His later films — Stoker, The Handmaiden, Decision to Leave — demonstrate a filmmaker who continually evolves while maintaining a singular, ravishing visual language.
