Park Chan-wook was born on August 23, 1963, in Seoul, South Korea. He initially studied philosophy at Sogang University and intended to become an art critic. After watching Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo,” he decided to pursue filmmaking. His early career included working as an assistant director, but his first two feature films, “The Moon Is… the Sun’s Dream” (1992) and “Trio” (1997), did not achieve commercial success. He then worked as a film critic to sustain himself before his breakthrough film.
Park gained significant recognition with “Joint Security Area” (2000), a film that became the highest-grossing South Korean film at the time. This success granted him creative freedom, leading to his critically acclaimed Vengeance Trilogy: “Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance” (2002), “Oldboy” (2003), and “Lady Vengeance” (2005). “Oldboy” earned him the Grand Prix at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and established his international reputation. His subsequent works, such as “Thirst” (2009) and “The Handmaiden” (2016), continued to garner critical and commercial success, with “The Handmaiden” winning the BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language.
In recent years, Park has ventured into television, directing the English-language miniseries “The Little Drummer Girl” (2018) and serving as executive producer and co-showrunner for “The Sympathizer” (2024). His film “Decision to Leave” (2022) earned him the Best Director award at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Throughout his career, Park has consistently demonstrated a unique style characterized by dark humor, intricate plots, and visually striking cinematography, often exploring themes of revenge and human nature.
