Revered South Korean director Park Chan-wook is the auteur behind projects as diverse as The Sympathizer, Oldboy and Stoker.
A meticulous filmmaker of genre-bending thrillers, morality plays and stylish literary adaptations – often all at once – the director has now returned to the world of prestige TV.
Star Wars director Rian Johnson bowed down to Park at the 2023 Golden Globes, where Park's latest film was up for best foreign language movie.Yet ever since Park's first English language project Stoker , he has managed to successfully translate his visual idiosyncrasies, tragicomic tonal balance and thematic preoccupations across new borders and formats.
Stoker's gothic chic lustre was virtually tailor-made for Tumblr, while The Handmaiden has been celebrated as an all-too-rare lesbian thriller, especially one with an unconventionally happy ending.Beyond Park's affinity for adaptation, which extends back to his 2000 breakout Joint Security Area, the exacting precision of his filmmaking remains intact through virtuosic camera movements and sly editing tricks.
The series only truly falters in one particular casting decision – not in its relative newcomer Xuande, who admirably conveys interiority underneath layers of competing identities and a deep-rooted uncertainty, but in Downey Jr. Joan told her manager at a child contact centre she was worried 4yo Sally might be being abused.
