Across all his films, modern master Lee Chang-dong has had a strong penchant for writing amazing stories around characters that are socially marginalised or misunderstood.

"Poetry" is a stunningly beautiful and intense film. I highly recommend anyone to get the DVD.
Nick Hal have the blu-Ray ☺️
What do you take away from it? What do you make out of it? Could you please share your thoughts and experience on watching poetry
I've been binging all of Lee Chang Dong's films after having seen Burning. His films are beautiful, tragic, and deeply resonate with you.
People cite Park Chan Wook as their favorite South Korean director for Oldboy or Bong Joon Ho for Memories of Murder, but to me Lee Chang Dong is probaby my favorite. The man is master of his craft.
My favorite Korean director, too.
Been really getting into Korean cinema recently. Park and Bong are both amazing for sure, but I after watching Burning, Secret Sunshine and Poetry I agree with this. I'm a huge fan of character drama, and Lee is masterful with his. I think his films are less overtly-gripping and therefore demand more focus from the viewer, but if you give them that energy then they offer so much beauty and meaning in return.
And the performances! Fuck. I can't shake the scene from Secret Sunshine in which Shin-ae breaks down in the church - it's so simple, and all the more raw for it.
Wholeheartedly agree. Only early 00s Kim Ki-duk comes close IMHO. But all of Lee Chang-dong's films I've seen have been revelatory.
Agree.
Finally someone doing a video essay on Lee Chang Dong.
I went to see ‘Burning’ at TIFF, and Lee and Yeun were there answering questions. Amazing to be in the same room as such a legend.
His films are beautifully tragic.
Lee chang dong is my favorite director. So much respect. God bless.
Poetry is Art. There I said it.
The source material for Burning came both from Murakami's short story "Barn Burning," and Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning."
an essay about lee chang dong, hence an auto-subscribe from me. excellent and well-edited video. keep up the good work.
Thanks for stopping by! Appreciate the support. :)
Great video. Lee's style reminds me a bit of Paul Thomas Anderson. Both are my favorite directors.
I feel like I can live in his cinematic universe. his characters are sharing a lot of things in common with me
Really great video. I am so moved by his films.
Master of emotions.
Lee Chang Dong is my GOAT. He's what I want from cinema.
Where can I watch Green Fish in such a beautiful quality?
I'm also interested
Hey dude, I was thinking about doing some video essays about Korean films and I searched to see what else was out there about Peppermint Candy, and honestly yours is the only video I could find. I like what you did and I'm glad to report it's nothing like what I had in mind to do, so we won't overlap.
I did want to ask, did you have any copyright issues when posting this video? I am in Korea and I'm not sure how well UA-cam Korea upholds the fair use of content for the purposes of analysis.
동시대를 살아 간다는것에 무한한 영광이다.
If there weren't so many geat korean directors, Lee would be my favorite. Great video, Thanx!!!
Where did you find HD footage of Green Fish?
Hope she sees this bru
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
