Introduction:
LEE Chang-dong is a director who positioned himself uniquely in the Korean film scene. LEE is like an island isolated from any of his contemporary film directors... LEE'S films have provided the audience with a chance to question and introspect the nature of film as medium. Conventional but avant-garde at the same time, the unique characteristics of his films seem to result from both obsessions with realism and a self-reflective structure.
In his films, LEE embraces the scars of history and reality as well as the illusory nature of the film medium. At the same time, he asks the viewers if a film can be a medium of mass communication to convey the meaningfulness of reality. This is something that his contemporary directors have never attempted. And this is why LEE is considered as a great artist in the Korean film scene even though ha has a filmography of only three films with his fourth to be released soom... I hope that this book con function as an entryway into the unique cinematic world of LEE Chang-dong, a distinguishing figure in Korean film history
