By Paul Bramhall There are those filmmakers out there whose cinematic identity feels distinctly attached to the country that they hail from.

By Mighty Peking Man The first time I saw Bae Doo-Na in Park Chan-Uk’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, I knew for a fact I would develop an interest in her right there and then.
