CHOICE Review
This is the second collection of essays in English dedicated to Korean cinema to appear outside Korea, the first being Korean Film: History, Resistance, and Democratic Imagination, by Eungjun Min, Jinsook Joo, and Han Ju Kwak (CH, Dec'03, 41-2071). Celebrating recent successes in the South Korean film industry, the first section, "Forging a New Cinema," offers five essays that examine the history of South Korea's film industry and show how lifting repressive political laws in 1992 shaped the contemporary film industry. The nine essays in parts 2 and 3, "Generic Transformations" and "Social Change and Civil Society," reflect on individual films illustrating the themes and direction in Korean cinema. The contributors--all film scholars in Korea, the US, and the UK--offer fresh, useful analyses of films in a variety of genres; films include Tell Me Something, Take Care of My Cat, Attack the Gas Station, Soul's Protest, and Asako in Ruby Shoes. The final essays move beyond Korea's political trauma to discuss "male subjectivity" and masculinity, "emerging gay, lesbian, and queer discourse," and, finally, works coproduced between nations. Extremely helpful also are the glossary of terms and bibliography of works on Korean cinema. ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended.
