Featuring a post-film discussion with Historian Bruce Cumings, moderated by Tae-nyun Kim
Before OLDBOY and THE HANDMAIDEN, legendary filmmaker Park Chan-wook unleashed JOINT SECURITY AREA—a gripping tale of deceit, misunderstanding, and the senselessness of war. The recipient of multiple accolades (including Best Film at South Korea's 2001 Grand Bell Awards) JOINT SECURITY AREA showcases Park's iconic style in an embryonic form while delivering a stylish, ultra-tense experience as only he can.
