How a homegrown cinema took on Hollywood and dazzled CannesFor the past decade, the Korean film industry has enjoyed a renaissance. This book provides both an industrial and an aesthetic account of how the Korean film industry managed to turn an economic crisis--triggered in part by globalizing processes in the world film industry--into a fiscal and cultural boom.
