Product Description
From the Publisher
Korean cinema was virtually unavailable to the West during the Japanese colonial period (1910-1945), and no film made before 1943 has been recovered even though Korea had an active filmmaking industry that produced at least 240 films. "Im Kwon-Taek: The Making of a Korean National Cinema" is a collection of essays written about Im Kwon-Taek, better known as the father of New Korean Cinema, that takes a critical look at the situations of filmmakers in South Korea. It establishes Im Kwon-Taek as the only major Korean director whose life's work covers the entire history of South Korea's military rule (1961-1992). It demonstrates Im's struggles with Korean cinema's historical contradictions and also shows how Im rose above political discord. The book includes an interview with Im, a chronology of Korean cinema and Korean history showing major dynastic periods and historical and political events, and and a complete filmography.

Quite an outdated book about Im Kwon-taek,
By
Ce commentaire est de: Im Kwon-Taek: The Making of a Korean National Cinema (Paperback)
The last movie mentioned by the author is Tae-baek Mountains, but "Chun-hyang" seems to be too new for the author already, not to mention the "Chwi-hwa-seon" as well. But it gives us some knowledge about the idea of Im's movie. Quite good if you are facinated by Im's movie and want to know more about him, especially his past.
