Bong Joon-ho (Korean: 봉준호, Korean pronunciation: [poːŋ tɕuːnho → poːŋdʑunɦo]; born September 14, 1969) is a South Korean filmmaker. He garnered international acclaim for his second feature film, the crime drama Memories of Murder (2003), before achieving commercial success with his subsequent films, the black comedy monster movie The Host (2006) and the dystopian sci-fi Snowpiercer (2013), both of which are among the highest-grossing films of all time in South Korea.[1]

Two of his films have screened in competition at the Cannes Film Festival—Okja in 2017 and Parasite in 2019, the latter of which earned the first Palme d'Or for a South Korean film.[2][3] For Parasite, Bong received Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, and, on behalf of South Korea, the Best International Feature Film.[4] Parasite became the first South Korean film to receive an Academy Award nomination in any category and the first non-English language Best Picture winner.[5] He also tied the record of most wins in a single night (4) with Walt Disney who set the record in 1953, and the only person to win four awards for a single film.[note 1][7] Parasite also won Best Foreign Language Film at the 77th Golden Globe Awards, with Bong also receiving nominations for Best Director and Best Screenplay for his work.[8]

In 2017, Metacritic ranked Bong sixteenth on its list of the 25 best film directors of the 21st century.[9] His films feature social themes, genre-mixing, black humor, and sudden mood shifts.[10]

Early life

Bong Joon-ho was born in Daegu, South Korea, in 1969, the youngest out of four children.[11] His father was Bong Sang-gyun, a graphic and industrial designer and professor, while his mother Park So-young was a full-time housewife.[11][12] Bong's maternal grandfather, Park Taewon, was an esteemed author during the Japanese colonial period, most famous for his work A Day in the Life of Kubo the Novelist and his defection to North Korea in 1950.[11][13] Bong's older brother Bong Joon-soo is an English professor at the Seoul National University, while his older sister Bong Ji-hee teaches fashion styling at Anyang University.[12]

While Bong was in elementary school, the family relocated to Seoul, taking up residence in Jamsil-dong by the Han River.[13] Bong enrolled in Yonsei University in 1988, majoring in sociology.[11] College campuses such as Yonsei's were then hotbeds for the South Korean democracy movement, and Bong was an active participant of student demonstrations, frequently subjected to tear gas early in his college years.[11][14]

Bong served a two-year term in the military in accordance with South Korea's compulsory military service before returning to college in 1992.[11] He co-founded a film club named Yellow Door with students from neighboring universities.[11] As a member of the club, Bong made his first films, including a stop-motion short titled Looking for Paradise and a 16mm short titled White Man.[11] He graduated from Yonsei University in 1995.[11]

In the early 1990s, Bong completed a two-year program at the Korean Academy of Film Arts. While there, he made many 16mm short films. His graduation films Memory Within the Frame and Incoherence were invited to screen at the Vancouver and Hong Kong international film festivals. He also collaborated on several works with his classmates — most notably as cinematographer on the highly acclaimed short 2001 Imagine, directed by his friend Jang Joon-hwan. Aside from cinematography on Hur Jae-young's short A Hat, Bong was also lighting director on an early short Sounds From Heaven and Earth by Choi Equan, and The Love of a Grape Seed.[10] Bong studied Martin Scorsese films and cited him as one of his major filmmaking influences.[15]

Career

After graduating, he spent the next five years contributing in various capacities to works by other directors. He received a partial screenplay credit on the 1996 omnibus film Seven Reasons Why Beer is Better Than a Lover; both screenplay and assistant director credits on Park Ki-yong's 1997 debut Motel Cactus; and is one of four writers (along with Jang Joon-hwan) credited for the screenplay of Phantom the Submarine (1999).[10]

Early directing work

Shortly afterwards, Bong began shooting his first feature Barking Dogs Never Bite under producer Cha Seung-jae, who had overseen the production of both Motel Cactus and Phantom the Submarine.[16] The film, about a low-ranking university lecturer who abducts a neighbor's dog, was shot in the same apartment complex where Bong had lived after getting married.[17] At the time of its release in February 2000 it received little commercial interest but some positive critical reviews. It was invited to the competition section of Spain's San Sebastian International Film Festival, and won awards at Slamdance Film Festival and Hong Kong International Film Festival. Slowly building international word of mouth also helped the film financially — over two years after its local release, the film reached its financial break-even point due to sales to overseas territories.[10][better source needed]

Bong's second film, Memories of Murder, a much larger-scale project, was adapted from a stage play centered on a real-life serial killer who terrorized a rural town in the 1980s and was never caught, although a suspect confessed to the crime in 2019.[18] Production of the film was a difficult process (the film set a local record for the number of locations it utilized).[citation needed] It was released in April 2003 and proved a critical and popular success. Word of mouth drove the film to sell over five million tickets (rescuing Cha Seung-jae's production company Sidus from near-bankruptcy), and a string of local honors followed, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (for Song Kang-ho) and Best Lighting prizes at the 2003 Grand Bell Awards. Although passed over by the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals, the film eventually received its international premiere, again at San Sebastian, where it picked up three awards including Best Director. The film also received an unusually strong critical reception on its release in foreign territories such as France and the U.S.[10]

Following this, Bong took some time to contribute short films to two omnibus projects. Influenza is a 30-minute work acted out entirely in front of real CCTV cameras stationed throughout Seoul. The film, which charts a desperate man's turn to violent crime over the space of five years, was commissioned by the Jeonju International Film Festival, together with works by Japanese director Sogo Ishii and Hong Kong-based Yu Lik-wai. Twentidentity, meanwhile, is a 20-part omnibus film made by alumni of the Korean Academy of Film Arts, on the occasion of the school's 20th anniversary. Bong's contribution is Sink & Rise, a work set alongside the Han River.[10]

International success

The Host marked a step up in scale in Bong's career, and indeed for the Korean film industry as a whole.[citation needed] The big-budget ($12 million) work centered on a fictional monster that rises up out of the Han River to wreak havoc on the people of Seoul — and on one family in particular. Featuring many of the actors who had appeared in his previous films, the film was the focus of strong audience interest even before it started shooting, but many doubts were raised[by whom?] about whether a Korean production could rise to the challenge of creating a full-fledged, believable digital monster. After initially contacting New Zealand's Weta Digital — the company responsible for the CGI in The Lord of the Rings — scheduling conflicts led Bong to San Francisco-based The Orphanage, who took on the majority of the effects work. After rushing to meet deadlines, the film received a rapturous premiere in the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. Although local audiences were slightly more critical of The Host than attendees at Cannes, the film was nonetheless a major summer hit. With theater owners calling for more and more prints, the film enjoyed South Korea's widest release ever (on over a third of the nation's 1800 screens) and set a new box-office record with 13 million tickets sold. The Host was quickly sold around the world, and US studio Universal bought the remake rights.[10][19]

In 2008, Bong along with Michel Gondry and French director Leos Carax, directed a segment of Tokyo!, a triptych feature telling three separate tales of the city. Bong's segment is about a man who has lived for a decade as a "hikikomori" — the term used in Japan for people unable to adjust to society who do not leave their homes — and what happens when he falls in love with a pizza delivery girl.[20]

Bong's fourth feature film Mother is the story of a doting mother who struggles to save her disabled son from a murder accusation. It premiered in the Un Certain Regard section at 2009 Cannes Film Festival to much acclaim, particularly for actress Kim Hye-ja. Mother repeated its critical success locally and in the international film festival circuit. The film appeared on many film critics' "best-of" lists of 2010.[21]

In 2011, Bong contributed to 3.11 A Sense of Home, an anthology of films, each 3 minutes 11 seconds in duration, addressing the theme of home. The films were made by 21 filmmakers in response to the devastating earthquake and tsunami which hit the Tohoku region of Japan on March 11, 2011. The film screened on the first anniversary of the disaster.[22] In Bong's short film Iki, a teenage girl finds a toddler, seemingly dead, on a beach.[23]

That same year, Bong served as a jury member for the 27th Sundance Film Festival.[24][25] He was also the head of the jury for the Caméra d'Or section of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival,[26][27] and the 2013 Edinburgh International Film Festival.[28]

American co-productions

In 2013, Bong released his first English-language film Snowpiercer, based on the graphic novel Le Transperceneige by Jean-Marc Rochette and Jacques Lob,[29][30][31][32][33] and set largely on a futuristic train where those on board are separated according to their social status. Snowpiercer premiered at the Times Square on July 29, 2013 in Seoul, South Korea,[34] before screening at the Deauville American Film Festival as the closing film on September 7, 2013,[35] the Berlin International Film Festival as the part of Berlin's Forum sidebar on February 7, 2014,[36] opening the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 11, 2014,[37] and the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 22, 2014.[38] Upon release in cinemas, the film was met with near-universal praise and strong ticket sales, both in South Korea and abroad.[39][40] As of April 2014, it is the tenth highest-grossing domestic film in South Korea, with 9,350,141 admissions. The film holds the domestic record for the fastest movie (domestic and foreign) to reach four million admissions, which it achieved in its fifth day after premiere, and another record for the highest weekend figure (from Friday to Sunday) for a Korean film, with 2.26 million viewers.[41] In addition to receiving several awards and nominations, Snowpiercer appeared on several critics' lists of the ten best films of 2014.[42]

In 2015, Bong's next film Okja was announced.[43] On April 30, 2015, screenwriter Jon Ronson announced on his Twitter account that he was writing the second draft of Bong's screenplay for the film.[44] Darius Khondji joined the film as cinematographer in February 2016.[45] Filming for the project began in April 2016.[46]

In 2017, Bong premiered Okja at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or and sparked controversy due to it being produced by Netflix.[47] The film was met with boos, mixed with applause, during a press screening at the film festival, once when the Netflix logo appeared on screen and again during a technical glitch (which got the movie projected in an incorrect aspect ratio for its first seven minutes).[48][49][50] The festival later issued an apology to the filmmakers.[51] However, despite the studio's negative response, the film itself received a four-minute standing ovation following its actual premiere.[52] The film was later released on Netflix on June 28, 2017, and received positive reviews.[53] On the film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 84% based on 125 reviews, with a weighted average of 7.5/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Okja sees Bong Joon-ho continuing to create defiantly eclectic entertainment – and still hitting more than enough of his narrative targets in the midst of a tricky tonal juggling act."[54] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 76 out of 100, based on 31 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[55] New York Times critic A.O. Scott wrote, "Okja is a miracle of imagination and technique, and Okja insists, with abundant mischief and absolute sincerity, that she possesses a soul."[56]

Parasite

In 2019, Bong directed the full Korean-language film Parasite, a comedy thriller about a poor family that insinuates itself into a wealthy household. The film premiered at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Palme d’Or, becoming the first Korean film to receive the award and the first film to do so with a unanimous vote since 2013's Blue Is the Warmest Colour.[57] It was subsequently selected as the South Korean entry for Best International Feature Film at the 92nd Academy Awards.[58] The film also won the $60,000 Sydney Film Prize at the Sydney Film Festival.[59] At Sydney, Parasite was in competition alongside 11 other features from countries such as North Macedonia, Brazil and Spain, and Australian entrants Mirrah Foulkes's Judy & Punch and Ben Lawrence­’s Hearts and Bones.[60]

Parasite was released in South Korea by CJ Entertainment on May 30, 2019, and in the rest of the world by Neon in late-2019. It received widespread critical acclaim and earned $115 million at the worldwide box office, becoming Bong's highest-grossing release.[61] For Parasite, Bong was nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay at the 77th Golden Globe Awards, with the film itself winning Best Foreign Language Film.[62] At the 92nd Academy Awards, Parasite became the first South Korean film to receive an Academy Award nomination in any category, receiving a total of six nominations and winning Best International Feature Film, Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. It was the first time a non-English language film won the Best Picture award.

Personal life

Bong was a member of the now defunct New Progressive Party.[63] He has also voiced support for its predecessor, the defunct Democratic Labor Party.[64]
