Editorial
One of South Korea’s most consummate and sly genre dramatists, Im Sang-soo made his name with the excellent The President’s Last Bang and was upgraded to the Cannes Film Festival’s competition with The Housemaid, a remake of the 1960 classic and a torrid immersion into Korean class dynamics.
