Park Chan Wook: The Korean film industry is in a state of great danger'
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
"The reason why my work was categorised as violent' or grotesque' is purely the fault of the British, says Park Chan Wook, flashing a knowing smile in my direction. He smiles again, a minute later, when a translator repeats his words back to me. The revered South Korean filmmaker is joking, but may have a point: when Park first became a sensation in Western cinephile circles, in the early 2000s,"
The Independent covers issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and conducts investigations such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC. The Independent produced a documentary, 'The A Word', spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet does not use paywalls and requests donations to fund reporters on the ground who can interview both sides. Park Chan-wook attributes labeling of his films as 'violent' or 'grotesque' to British marketing decisions. British distributor Tartan marketed Park's early films under 'Asia Extremes'. Park's early films contained macabre elements including murder, incest, child kidnapping, organ harvesting, live octopus consumption, botched penknife harakiri, and dental mutilation.
