One of Korea’s greatest film stylists, always pushing in new directions. His debut THE QUIET FAMILY (1998) ingeniously fused horror and comedy, while A TALE OF TWO SISTERS (2003), with its stunning visuals and challenging story, is recognized as one of the most influential Korean horror films ever. Then followed the elegant, brutal noir A BITTERSWEET LIFE (2005), which premiered in Cannes. The eclectic “Kimchi Western” THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE WEIRD (2008) stands out as both a popular hit and an utterly unique contribution to Korean cinema. With THE AGE OF SHADOWS, his first film in three years, KIM at last takes his singular vision to the spy genre.
