With the release of Parasite (2019), recipient of the Palme dOr and an Academy Award for Best Picture, South Korean director, Bong Joon Ho, secured his place as one of his generations leading filmmakers. Yet while scholars and critics have long appreciated his penetrating critique of Korean society and global capitalism, his oeuvre has not been considered from a philosophical perspective. This book argues that his cinema is philosophical and in a radical and original rather than derivative sense. Anthony Curtis Adler explores Bong's assertion that Western philosophy is itself a cinematic apparatus. He claims philosophy anticipates cinemas technical and expressive means and cinema in turn possesses an extraordinary capacity to criticize philosophy from within. Focusing on the interaction of three closely linked philosophical-cinematic apparatuses used by Bong (the projection of visionary spaces, self-domestication and human life itself as a drama), this book features close readings of his seven feature-length films. Drawing out the philosophical depth of a visionary auteur, Adler brings us on a journey into a unique cinematic world.
