Jang Sun-Woo

Director

South Korean film director known for provocative, anarchic arthouse films, notably Lies (presented at Venice, 1999), the debut Seoul Jesus, and the big-budget Resurrection (2002).

Lies was presented at the Venice Film Festival (1999). Resurrection (2002) was an expensive sci-fi production that failed commercially according to contemporary accounts. Seoul Jesus is cited as Jang's memorable debut in available reviews.

The available review calls Jang Sun-Woo's Lies a brutal, destabilizing masterpiece that many viewers will find deeply disturbing. The reviewer places Lies alongside the director's earlier Seoul Jesus and the commercially failed Resurrection (2002). Overall the coverage is admiring of Jang's provocative, anarchic vision while warning viewers about the film's extreme nature.

For:Fans of arthouse, confrontational, and challenging cinema; readers interested in controversial Korean films.

 Every time I think about it, I feel sick.
