not only korean, but italian, brazilian, argentinian, mexican and a lot of other countries have an amazing movie catalog. as bong joon ho would say: "Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films"

Aside from just Korean cinema, foreign films in general are thriving so much right now because of how accessible they’re getting.
I’m so glad people are opening up more and more to foreign films.
Netflix is a pretty big part in that, too. They’ve been dropping so many great foreign movies and shows.

Burning is so f’ kin good it hurts. That film lingered in my mind for weeks. 10/10

Korean cinema is definitely one of my favourites, it's really sad to see that Hollywood wants to make remakes of a bunch of them.

I will never forget when Parasite won the Oscars because I was studying at Yonsei (where Dir. Bong is an alumni) and within the week there were HUGE banners all over campus congratulating him on his win. I then found out that the film club I was in was one he was briefly a part of back in his time of study. What a time that was for Korean cinema, but also for me.

The Handmaiden is one of the best films I've ever seen. I went into it pretty much blind as to what it was about and was blown away by it.

[samskisun]

That scene in Memories of Murder where the woman walks alone in that field and the killer pops his head up just for a sec, damn.

[cinemadupapa]

with all the anti-asian hatecrimes happening rn, we appreciate u so much for using your platform like this, Karsten <3

[FinancialShinanigan]

Korean films work because whatever the genre it's a personal story we get a glimpse into. Koreans enjoy it because we experienced it and foreigners appreciate it because it's a new way of looking at things.
But watch the sequel to Train To Busan to see what happens when Korean directors try to appeal to a wider audience instead of the usual personal approach.

Talks about how great Korean cinema is; doesn't mention my boy Park Chan-wook

[kathyrose]

South Koreas whole entertainment is taking over the world, music industry, film and TV. But it’s earned the content they’re producing is incredible.

The handmaiden blew my mind when I saw it - such a rollercoaster of a movie

[noahsong]

As a Korean, I clicked immediately when I saw the notification.

[larissa]

[bossisin]

As a non Korean, I clicked immediately when I saw the notification. Cause Korean movies are
the best movies

[CaughtInTheLoop]

Korean cinema is truly amazing! I honestly feel kinda that I only started watching Korean movies after watching Parasite. Mother, Train To Busan, Memories of Murder and so many more masterpieces. Can't wait to check out Minari soon.

[hrithikjoshi]

The anxiety Burning gave me is still unparalleled.
