Insightful article from the BFI publication Sight & Sound about the current renaissance in Korean film and the inability of mainstream North American critics to get past the ultra-violence. With particular attention paid to Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance), Kim Jee-woon (Tale of Two Sisters, A Bittersweet Life) & the generalized Korean distrust of authority. Also check out the interviews with Park Chan-wook & Kim Jee-woon.
