Korea is getting plenty of coverage in The Hollywood Reporter at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Not surprising, really, given all the Korean films there this year.
There is a Q&A with Bong Joon-ho here, and another one with Park Chan-wook.
There is also this interesting story about the state of Southeast Asian cinema. And this overview of the Japan film industry. And this Q&A with Ang Lee.
I’ll add more stories as I come across them.
(Note: If you check out some of the following stories, you might notice that none of them are by me. I have been very slow to mention it here, but I actually stopped writing for THR some months ago, and have instead been putting my energies into some other projects. Which I should talk about soon).
Hi Mark,
Could you tell us whom to write to regarding the photo mistake on the current THR-Cannes daily hand-out? Glaring error at hand is Jung Woo Sung’s photo on a Lee Byung Hun article.
Much obliged, thank you.
