In this episode, we’re diving into the world of Bong Joon-ho ahead of the release of Mickey 17. We’ll explore his incisive class commentary, visual language and iconography, and approach to genre storytelling—plus, what exactly makes his films stand out in an era where auteur-driven mainstream filmmaking has struggled to thrive. We’ll also dive into his early career in the 2000s Korean film scene, his relationships with actors and other directors, and how he went from cult favorite to global phenomenon.
