Monsters & Murderers: The Films of Bong Joon-ho E-mail

February 25—March 1

A box office hit in his native South Korea, Bong Joon-ho has not only become a fanboy favorite for his keen genre filmmaking instincts, black sense of humor, and mastery of suspense, but also a critical darling for his uncanny ability to subvert genre while simultaneously delivering the thrills. BAMcinématek marks the upcoming release of his latest, Mother, with this showcase of his work to date, including three of his short films.

Lhamo will be speaking on Tuesday, January 26 at 6:30 PM at Columbia University (Kent Hall, Room 403).
