It seems that the title is wrong, but as of "Miss", Park Zanyu has made a total of eight feature films, and "Miss" is also the only film that he can watch repeatedly without regret. In his opinion, there are more or less regrets in other films. But in my opinion, Miss seems not to be his most "self-liberating" work. "Miss" has a taste of restraint in it. Sometimes I don't know if this restraint is a compromise or assimilation to elite culture or not. Or evolution. So I gave it four stars, and of course I still like the director's cut of "Miss". Maybe his favorite is still "The Bat", but sometimes "favorite" and "no regrets" don't coexist.

Just as Lao Pu is also a contradictory community,

His films are not only full of darkness, violence and sex, after cutting the surface, he is synonymous with romanticism, an atheist born in a Catholic family, innocence is the breeding ground for the bottom of his philosophy, and then through works to find in the shackles of darkness light.


I am not a film critic, so it is difficult to express my evaluation of director Park Chan-wook comprehensively and accurately, but I will edit it. As a young man who has been fortunate enough to have been consciously exposed to movies since the millennium, following the career trajectory that Lao Park officially started in 2000, I feel that it is time to make a phased review or summary for my favorite director.

So it took me a year before and after, I mixed and edited Park Chan-wook's eight feature films until 2016 into a new work. The reason why it is called "work" is that it not only contains my understanding and respect for Director Park, but also this editing form is not unprecedented, or at least rare. The mixed-cut works are presented in the form of chapters, and are based on the themes repeatedly covered in Director Park's works. The eight chapters correspond to the eight original soundtracks of the film.

Darkness and mystery, revenge, violent aesthetics, innocence and innocence, flesh and spirit, sin and redemption, hope and faith, self and struggle

I'm confident enough to think that this might be the best Park Chan-wook mix you've ever seen. I also believe that compared with text, this presentation through montage will make you feel Park Chan-wook's movie world more intuitively (please click the link below to watch the movie):

    Too much color but not enough love. The concept of love in this book is: I love you, and I just want to do all kinds of poses with you. The old driver has been holding back for too long, so it would be good to find a loyal dog maid. The BBC version is: I love you, I am willing to bear it, I am willing to sacrifice, and I am willing to fulfill your happiness.

    South Korea's "Nie Yinniang". Just an implicit poetic, a direct, powerful, modern. This year's Korean movies in Cannes can make people with dark eyes, black hair and yellow skin get some light.

The Handmaiden quotes

  • Sook-Hee: My aunt said when you hear that guests will come, drop everything and go bathe the children. The guests like the smell of a clean baby. Miss, you are my baby. My aunt also said, give the babies candy when they bathe, to teach them that bath time is sweet.

  • Sook-Hee: I need to remind myself that I want to be rich and then travel somewhere far, eat foreign foods, buy bright shiny things and, most importantly... forget about Hideko.
