Description - Understanding Korean Film: A Cross-Cultural Perspective by Jieun Kiaer

• Global interest has been gradually been increasing since the turn of the millennium when K-film began its unprecedented transformation during the Korean popular culture phenomenon coined the Korean Wave.
• Timely due to Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, which marked a height in the global appreciation of Korean film (K-film) in 2020 when it became the first foreign language film in history to win an Academy Award.
• There are no books or monographs focused on the subject of meaning in K-film, nor that provide a framework for self-interpretation.
• There is a need for scholarship that uncovers the meaning that lies beyond the Eurocentric scope of film interpretation.
• Provides the needed framework for understanding meaning in K-film, and to make it accessible for both K-film researchers and K-film fans who want to expand their understanding of K-film.
