I don't write any kind of sequel or remake.
From Bong Joon-ho
No matter where I am working, I cannot make a film without 100% creative control and final cut. If there is such a guarantee, I can work anywhere.
The superhero is a really popular figure in the West. In Asia or Korea, the young viewers are amused by the figure, but it is not really so sensational.
I'm sure mothers are important across every culture, but particularly in Korean society, the role of the mother is of great importance.
The mother's love for her child is very strong in Korean society - almost on the borderline of being an obsession.
I don't intentionally make my films with the express goal of surprising the viewer.
As a director, or just a film fan who wants to enjoy the festival, Cannes is the worst place to be. But it must be a paradise for distributors and importers.
When you first think of making a monster movie you have to realize that a lot of people may be down on you because there is a big prejudice against such films.
In Korean films there is only really a strong tradition of melodramas.
I like to draw my storyboards myself.
