"Inventive and engaging, with elegant and grounded analyses of Bong's oeuvre. While there are other English-language volumes now devoted to the director, Jeon's multifaceted account of the relationship between Korea's modern history and the trajectory of Bong's traversal of genres, modes, and production practices yields remarkable insight." --Michelle Cho, University of Toronto
