Park Chan-wook is a master storyteller whose filmmaking style has exerted a considerable influence on 21st-century cinema. From his era-defining classic Oldboy to his elegant period piece The Handmaiden, his films trade equal parts beauty and brutality, all the while maintaining a wicked sense of humor. He joins us on My Best Shots to discuss the motivations behind the hallway fight scene in Oldboy, contrasting red blood and blue emotions in Thirst, the historical commentary in The Handmaiden's production design, and a look into the use of daylight in his new film No Other Choice.
