After a spell teaching Korean Language in high school, he established himself as a renowned novelist with his first novel ''Chonri'' in 1983. Later in his career, to the surprise of many, he turned to movie making. Lee did not study film making before starting out. He penned two screenplays, Park Kwang-su's ''To the Starry Island'' in 1993 and ''A Single Spark'' in 1995. After being encouraged by his contemporaries to finally step behind the directors chair, Lee made ''Green Fish'', a "critique of Korean society told through the eyes of a young man who becomes enmeshed in the criminal underworld", in 1997. In 2000, Lee made ''Peppermint Candy'', a story following a single man in reverse chronology through 20 years of South Korean history (from 1980's student uprising, to the film's 2000 release). All of his films have received critical acclaim and awards, with ''Oasis'', a story involving a mentally ill man and a woman with cerebral palsy, winning the prestigious Director's Award at the 2003 Venice Film Festival. He served as the minister of Culture and Tourism in the South Korean Government from 2003 to 2004. In October 2006, Lee was awarded with the Chevalier (Knight) order of the Legion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor) by the French government for "his contribution to maintaining the screen quota to promote cultural diversity as a cultural minister." It was delivered to the French embassy in South Korea by the French Minister of Culture, Renaud Donnedieu de Vabres during an official visit. In 2007, Lee's fourth film, ''Secret Sunshine'', was completed. At the 60th Cannes Film Festival, the film was entered in the competition category and its leading actress, Jeon Do-yeon, won the ''Prix d'interprétation féminine du Festival de Cannes''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Secret Sunshine )〕 It was released to theaters in South Korea in 2007, and was South Korea's submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2008. In 2009, Lee was appointed as a jury member of the international competition in 61st Cannes Film Festival along with Isabelle Huppert, Shu Qi and Robin Wright Penn. In 2010, Lee's latest film, ''Poetry'', was released, garnering positive critical reviews, and winning the Best Screenplay Award at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.
