Film lovers from all around the world applauded Bong Joon-ho's achievement of winning the 2020 Academy Award for Best Picture with his film Parasite. This was the first time a non-English film won Best Picture in Oscar history.

Although his success has brought a lot of novel attention to the realm of Korean film, this genre is still somewhat alienated from the circle of world cinema.


As part of this important movement in Korean film, this book can act as a guide to Western audiences who are interested in Korean movies but are unsure where to start. This book includes Korean films that were released between the early 2000s and present.

Yoo, Hyounjeong: - Hyounjeong Yoo was born in South Korea and worked at several prestigious universities as an instructor. Initially, she was keen on East Asian language and literature. She had researched 15th-century Japanese language and the relationship between other East Asian languages. Her academic interests expanded into the field of film studies and the exploration of classical cinema. After she moved to Canada, she started discovering Canadian and Indigenous cinema, which was entirely new to her. Her goal is to continue writing about East Asian cinema to provide more insights to Western spectators, and to learn more about Indigenous filmmakers and their perspective as a visual minority.
