What sets this work apart from other books on Korean Film that have recently come out in the Western languages in the fact that it explores the work of Korea's foremost director, Im Kwon-Taek, head-on, without first trying to explain every single detail about Korean culture. It looks into the ideas on the director's unique position in Korean cinema. Im Know-Taek: The making of a Korean National Cinema is a very welcome addition to the volume of studies on Korean film in general. I am convinced, therefore, that it will prove to be a great resource to those involved in world cinema or Korean culture studies.--International Institute for Asian Studies Newsletter
