This timely book reveals that even as Bong Joon Ho has emerged as a major global auteur with works like Snowpiercer (2013) and the Oscar®-award winning Parasite (2019), his films hybridize Hollywood conventions with local realities in order to engage with distinctly Korean social and political contexts that may elude many Western viewers.
