Like Imamura, Bong hails from a bourgeois background but has devoted himself to chronicling the underclass, with a particular affinity for enterprising hustlers (like Parasite’s Kim family) foraging their way through a world that is decidedly stacked against them. With this Darwinian gaze, Bong (who was born in 1969) shows his kinship to one of his acknowledged masters, Japanese director Shohei Imamura, a rhapsodic vulgarian who was to the scorched earth of post–World War II Japan what Ozu was to the tatami mat. Director Bong joins Amazon Studios film acquisitions and development executive Scott Foundas for a conversation about making films and a shared love of cinema. His 2019 film Parasite made history by winning the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival and winning Academy awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best International Feature Film and Best Original Screenplay. He has notably directed Memories of Murder (2003), The Host (2006), Mother (2009), Snowpiercer (2013) and Okja (2017).
Since then, Bong has helped transform Korean cinema and bring it to theaters around the world. There, he made some of his first short films and fully immersed himself in the study of international cinema before releasing his directorial debut, Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000). He studied sociology at Yonsei University - a hub for the 1980s democracy movement before enrolling in the Korean Academy of Film Arts in the early 1990s. Born the youngest of four children in Daegu, South Korea, Bong was interested in film from a young age, but was hesitant to make it his life’s work.
