Korean Film Directors - "IM Kwon-taek"

"The history of modern Korea consists of many fetters, in which different generations live with very different experiences. Many artists left records rof their generations but Im Kwon-Taek is the only one who has truly embraced all the events of the 20th century and is conveying a message to us now. Just looking at the results, he is nearly the most miraculous survivor but when the personal story of his survival comes to light, the miracle is a record of the tears of a tragic history. Describing Im Kwon-Taek is recording the history of Korean movies and furthermore, explaining the history of modern Korea."--Back cover.
