This thread might be a little premature in this series since majority of people don't know this filmmaker but I saw young @Charlie Work attempting to explore his work so I figured I'd spark a conversation about him.



This man is the Nayvadius of film, dropping hit after hit, never missing a year and often dropping several films a year. He's like early Woody Allen but more of a savage. I know South Korean cinema is prob the most readily accessible to casual American watchers because of pop culture filmmakers like Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho but this man is rly the truth of South Korean filmmaking.

His 2016 film, Yourself and Yours, is out online but no subtitles yet. Plus he's got two films dropping this year, On the Beach at Night Alone & Claire's Camera, the former is being praised as his best and the latter is a reteaming with Isabelle Huppert. It's safe to say bruh is in peak form and shows no sign of slowing down.
