Beskrivning
Providing a rare example of a national cinema that has managed to overturn the prevailing global paradigm of Hollywood dominance, South Korean films are nevertheless still haunted by the peninsula’s earlier colonial history. Focussing on a series of films produced during the administration of disgraced and then pardoned President Park Geun-hye (2013–2017), this book examines South Korea’s relationship with Japan and how this relationship continues to be negotiated through films and politics. Containing detailed discussion of significant and internationally renowned films including The Age of Shadows, The Handmaiden and the domestically popular, The Admiral: Roaring Currents, this informative text is a welcome addition to South Korean Film Studies that will also be valued for its examination of how film cycles operate in non-Hollywood cinema. Offering a perceptive look at an underexplored area, this book will be embraced by professionals and laypersons intrigued by South Korea and Japan’s frequently tense relationship.

Recensioner i media

"Edwards does an excellent job investigating… Edwards' discussion of veteran global actor Kunimura Jun's decision to play 'The Outsider' in The Wailing is a particularly intriguing section of the book… Scholarship doesn't have to always be so pertinent to our lives to justify the public money spent on universities. The pursuit of knowledge is an inherently worthy goal in its own right. But when it tackles controversial topics and provides such valuable strategies that can be applied directly into our present lives, it is truly invaluable."Adam Hartzell, Koreanfilm.org
