Lee Chang-dong Classics
Acclaimed Korean filmmaker Lee Chang-dong is often described as a “poet of cinema.” A novelist before becoming a director, he is known for his restrained yet penetrating gaze on lives pushed to the margins by harsh social realities. Oasis portrays a misunderstood relationship between an ex-convict and a woman with severe cerebral palsy, finding a fragile refuge in love amid an unforgiving world. Poetry follows an elderly woman taking a poetry class as her life begins to unravel, confronting the uneasy coexistence of beauty and cruelty.
The documentary Lee Chang-dong: The Art of Irony looks back on his creative journey and body of work, exploring how literature, social realities, and human struggle have shaped his cinema. Revisit Lee Chang-dong’s classics on Giloo, and discover how his uncompromising honesty reveals the rawest textures of human life.
