Successful cult films like The Host and Snowpiercer proved to be harbingers for Bong Joon Ho’s enormous breakthrough success with Parasite. Joseph Jonghyun Jeon provides a consideration of the director’s entire career and the themes, ambitions, techniques, and preoccupations that infuse his works. As Jeon shows, Bong’s sense of spatial and temporal dislocations creates a hall of mirrors that challenges us to answer the parallel questions Where are we? and When are we?. Jeon also traces Bong’s oeuvre from its early focus on Korea’s US-fueled modernization to examining the entanglements of globalization in Mother and his subsequent films. A complete filmography and in-depth interview with the director round out the book.
Insightful and engaging, Bong Joon Ho offers an up-to-date analysis of the genre-bending international director.
Joseph Jonghyun Jeon is a professor of English at the University of California, Irvine. He is the author of Vicious Circuits: Korea's IMF Cinema and the End of the American Century.
