}} Park Chan-wook ( (:paktɕʰanuk); born August 23, 1963) is a South Korean film director, screenwriter, producer, and former film critic. One of the most acclaimed and popular filmmakers in his native country, Park is most known for his films ''Joint Security Area'', ''Thirst'' and what has become known as ''The Vengeance Trilogy'', consisting of 2002's ''Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance'', ''Oldboy'' in 2003 and ''Sympathy for Lady Vengeance'' in 2005. His films are noted for their immaculate framing, black humor and often brutal subject matter. == Life and career == Park was born and raised in Seoul,〔Chan-wook, Park. (2005-12-10). ''Park's Montage'' (essay). 마음 산책. "Introduction about the author, and the prologue". ISBN 89-89351-81-2.〕 and studied philosophy at Sogang University, where he started a cinema-club called the "Sogang Film Community" and published a number of articles on contemporary cinema. Originally intending to be an art critic, upon seeing ''Vertigo'' he resolved to try to become a filmmaker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dialogue: Park Chan-wook )〕 After graduation, he wrote articles on film for journals, and soon became an assistant director of films like ''Kkamdong'', directed by Yu Yeong-jin, and ''Watercolor painting in a Rainy Day'', directed by Kwak Jae-yong (''My Sassy Girl''). His debut feature film was ''The Moon Is... the Sun's Dream'' (1992), and after five years, he made his second film ''Trio''. Park's early films were not successful, and he pursued a career as a film critic to make a living.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A.V. Club interview with Park Chan-wook )〕 In 2000, Park directed ''Joint Security Area'', which was a great success both commercially and critically, even surpassing Kang Je-gyu's ''Shiri'' as the most-watched film ever made in South Korea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yellow Sea Rising: The Resurrection of South Korean Cinema )〕 This success made it possible for him to make his next film more independently - ''Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance'' is the result of this creative freedom. After winning the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival for the film ''Oldboy'', a journalist asked, "in your film, why is the vengeance repeating?". According to Park, he decided to make three consecutive films with revenge as the central theme. Park said his films are about the utter futility of vengeance and how it wreaks havoc on the lives of everyone involved. In a May 2004 interview with ''The Hollywood Reporter'', Park listed Sophocles, Shakespeare, Kafka, Dostoevsky, Balzac, Kurt Vonnegut as being influences on his career.〔 His so-called ''Vengeance Trilogy'' consists of ''Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance'', ''Oldboy'' and ''Sympathy for Lady Vengeance''. It was not originally intended to be a trilogy. ''Sympathy for Lady Vengeance'', shortened to ''Lady Vengeance'', was distributed by Tartan Films for American theatrical release in April 2006.〔(Palisades Tartan unleashes the 8-Disc VENGEANCE TRILOGY Box )〕 Despite extreme violence in his films, Park is regarded as one of the most popular film directors in Korea, with three of his last five feature films (''Joint Security Area'', ''Oldboy'' and ''Sympathy for Lady Vengeance'') all drawing audiences of over 3 million. This makes Park the director of three films in the thirty all-time highest grossing films in South Korea. (9th, 29th, 26th respectively as of January 2007).〔(Wiki-internal link) Korean cinema box office〕 In addition to being a film director and screenwriter, Park is also a film critic with several published editions to his name. None have been translated into English as yet. American director Quentin Tarantino is an avowed fan of Park. As the head judge in 2004 Cannes Film Festival, he personally pushed for Park's ''Oldboy'' to be awarded the Palme d'Or (the honor eventually went to Michael Moore's ''Fahrenheit 9/11'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The New Cult Canon: Oldboy )〕 ''Oldboy'' garnered the Grand Prix, the second-highest honor in the competition. Tarantino also regards Park's ''Joint Security Area'' to be one of "the top twenty films made since 1992." In 2006, he was the member of official section jury at the 63rd Venice International Film Festival. In February 2007, Park won the Alfred Bauer Prize at the 57th Berlin International Film Festival. The award, named after the festival's founder and in praise of movies opening up new perspectives, went to Park for his film, ''I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK''. In 2009, Park directed his first vampire film, ''Thirst'' starring Song Kang-ho which won Prix du Jury along with ''Fish Tank,'' directed by Andrea Arnold at 2009 Cannes Film Festival. He considered directing ''Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'' but ultimately turned it down.〔 In 2011, Park said his new fantasy-horror film ''Paranmanjang'' (''Night Fishing'') was shot entirely on the iPhone. The film was co-directed with Park's younger brother, Park Chan-kyong who never had any experience on film directing. It was nominated for Berlinale Shorts during the 2011 Berlin Film Festival, which won Golden Bear for Best Short Film. In 2013, Park directed his first English-language film, ''Stoker''. He said he learned to accelerate the production process and completed filming in 480 hours.〔 Although Park does speak English, he used an interpreter on set.〔 On why the script attracted his attention, Park said: "I like telling big stories through small, artificially created worlds." On March 2, 2013, Park appeared on a panel discussion about the movie ''Stoker'', held at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian's Museums of Asian Art.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Express )〕 In 2014, Park directed a short film commissioned by luxury brand Ermenegildo Zegna, co-written by himself, Ayako Fujitani, Chung Chung-hoon and Michael Werwie, scored by Clint Mansell, and starring Jack Huston and Daniel Wu, and which previously screened at the Rome International Film Festival and the Busan International Film Festival.〔Zainab Akande, Watch: Park Chan-wook's Fashionista Thriller Starring Jack Huston and Jason Wu, indieWire, http://www.indiewire.com/article/watch-park-chan-wooks-fashionista-thriller-starring-jack-huston-and-jason-wu-20141023〕 In September 2014, it was announced that Park would adapt ''Fingersmith'', a historical crime novel by Sarah Waters.〔Director Park Chan-wook Sets Ha Jung-woo as Star of Sexy "Fingersmith", Variety, http://variety.com/2014/film/news/park-chan-wook-to-shoot-sexy-crime-story-fingersmith-1201296579/〕 The film entered production in mid 2015 and ended on October 31, 2015.
