Park Chan-wook is an acclaimed Korean filmmaker best known for his film-adaptation of
Oldboy. The movie
Joint Security Area instantly made him one of his homecountry's most beloved directors and he has since then made several more films that met with great commercial success and critical acclaim.
His style is marked by explicit violence and sexuality interwoven with tragedy akin to Shakespeare (he has stated that Shakespeare is one of his influences) and
lots of black humor. Not exactly something for the kids.
