In short, if you want a solid taste at the history of modern Korean cinema. Just watch Song Kang Ho’s entire career.

Train to Busan was my first korean film, but Parasite was my first favorite. From there I’ve done a deep dive into the New Korean Cinema. This year alone in 2021 I’ve already seen 5 different korean films, all of which (except A Taxi Driver) were mentioned in this video. Korea very well could be considered my personal favorite country to watch foreign language films from.

Oldboy was my introduction to South Korean cinema, at around 2005/2006 i watched it for the first time, and since then i fell in love with their movies, watched so many great Korean films over the years since then, and rewatched some of them multiple times, some of my favorite movies of all time would be Oldboy, The Wailing, Memories of Murder, New World, The Host, The man from nowhere, Yellow Sea, Mother, Bedeviled, I saw the devil, Burning and so many more, I highly recommend you check these movies out incase you are interested in South Korean movies!

Daaaaamn, I didn't know Ki-duk was dead. F :( _Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter...and Spring_ is one of my favourite films. So damn good. He will be sorely missed

@kubricklynch 3 года назад

Yeah it just happened this week :(

One aspect of Korean films I enjoy is the inherent respect that people show for each other. The bowing is a form of this attribute. Citizens of the US have no idea of this thoughtfulness.

@betrayy5151 Год назад

Why do you attack the US specifically lol. You mean the entire West

@ktmtxt 8 месяцев назад

Lee Chang-Dong has a perfect filmography, in my opinion. He started as a writer and his scripts are masterful. He was minister of culture in Capitalist Korea for one year or so. He's legendary, really.

@Ben_Ramirez19 Год назад

South Korean cinema has to be my most favourite category of movies. I just live how obscure the characters can be, and how filmmakers are not afraid to go full in with the violence and character. They've got such a unique outlook on life and it is defiently clear in their movies, and I so thunk that more people need to be exposed to the movies coming from South Korea Some of my recommendations: -Parasite -Oldboy -Train To Busan -Thirst -Decision To Leave -Mother -The Host -Sympathy For Mr Vengeance -Okja The list is mostly made up of Bong Joon-Ho's movies, and Park Chan-Wook movies, because they are my two favourite south korean directors, as I've seen most of their movies Also, any film with Song Kang-Ho is pretty good. He's a very versatile and serious actor who never fails to stand out

@wolfcrewe7474 Год назад

I used to hate foreign films and subtitles. It was only years later I was stuck somewhere with a Korean film playing on the tv. It was ‘New World’ and since then I’ve been addicted to Korean cinema. Some of the best films in history bar none. New World is my personal favourite.

@wraspita Год назад

As a Korean I cannot but applaud this excellent video. I've seen most of the movies here but not all (especially the old ones). Will have to get them.

@elidasilva5558 Год назад

14:20 - I cryed at the ending of Brotherhood of War. That and Oldboy sold me that Koera was a force to be wreckend with in cinema

Watching this before my trip to Seoul for Korean Cinema Studies! Thank you for the crash course:)

@kelestian 3 года назад

Great content! I'd also recommend "Castaway to the moon", "Moment to remember" and "New world"

@MrEternalFool 3 года назад

Love you man. Will go through the other countries now and watch the movies.

@landscapedetective4064 3 года назад

Thanks for the interesting reviews. I have around 150 Korean films in my collection, but you managed to pick a few I haven't seen - so I'll be tracking them down. On a side note, I've always been annoyed by the Oscars' 'Foreign language' section. To me, cinema is cinema, not matter from what country a film hails. Back on topic, I recommend the recently released Korean sci-fi blockbuster 'Space Sweepers.' Absolute bonkers, but great fun.

@kubricklynch 3 года назад

I will have to check out Space Sweepers, thanks for the recommendation.

@nakamaka162 2 года назад

@kubricklynch 2 года назад

@allinthereflexes6302 3 года назад

Brilliant Video! I’d also Add into the Yellow Sea and The Chaser.

@kubricklynch 3 года назад

Thank you! I will keep those in mind to check out.

@jay-zdenton6094 3 года назад

I enjoy your world cinema guide videos. Keep them coming.

@kubricklynch 3 года назад

I definitely will! Just trying to decide what country I do next. Thinking about doing something not from Europe or East Asia.

@jay-zdenton6094 3 года назад

@@kubricklynch Would've picked Scandinavian, Polish or BeNeLux cinema myself but oh well. Perhaps Mexican or Brazilian next time.

@christopherwall444 3 месяца назад

Oldboy…one of my favorite movies of all time…the performances are incredible

@espiritu2757 Год назад

I have never watched a movie go so far and beyond our regular critique of society as it's done by Burning and Parasyte. I have never seen a movie with as deep a dive into the mind as Oldboy. And I've just started. I love this video, and there is so much more to see and mention.

@kubricklynch Год назад

Glad you liked the video.

@thienphuchuynh8378 Год назад

@jacquelineroswell-sander1202 11 месяцев назад

The Original Housemaid is an most excellent masterpiece. Parasite fits perfect in our world today (not only just in Korea).

@brayanpuentes9368 3 года назад

Dude, thanks so much, I saw your recommendations on French films some time back but I thought you were not gonna make any more vids, but now with this I'll finally suscribe, you must be busy but I hope you get around to doing a guide for Russian cinema

@kubricklynch 3 года назад

I am definitely planning many more! Russia is under consideration but as of now my next one is Argentina.

@kubricklynch 3 года назад

Also, I have a similar video for Germany if you didn't see that one.

@fauxdauteur 5 месяцев назад

As an American, South Korean Action/Thrillers is my favorite genre ever. I Saw the Devil, Train to Busan, and Parasite are in my top 10 in general.

@alexandervue9464 3 года назад

Great video bro you're the homie

@fernandoparadacastillo5901 Год назад

This might sound exaggerated, but for me The Wailing wasn't a film, it was a religious experience. It gave me a feeling i didn't even know existed, like... having the truth revealed to you for the first time. Became a fan of korean cinema instantly. Thanks for the video👍 i may watch all of them 😆

@danielspencer6174 Год назад

Some korean movie are so good . I like see korean martial arts stars in they movie?

@7ebr830 2 года назад

SS Rajamouli Called Parasite A "borning"cinema.

@acdragonrider 2 года назад

What is it about Korean culture to inspire all these films about crime, greed, vengeance, social critique, and class conflict? I’m not the biggest fan of those, and more so of family, cultural norms, and history, which are seemingly more common in Chinese and Japanese films. I don’t want to be a dissenter on purpose but as a newcomer to Korean films, I must say I really didn’t like Oldboy or Parasite. I like Minari though and I’ve been trying to find Tae Guk Gi for some time! With no luck. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring and Aimless Bullet sound most promising on this list.
