When I was first approached by an editor from the magazine Little White Lies about writing what would become Bong Joon Ho: Dissident Cinema, it took me no time at all to say yes. The pitch was that book — the latest in a series of collaborations between LWL and Abrams Books that has yielded monographs on the Coen brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, and Sofia Coppola — would cover Bong’s feature films as well as assorted other works (short films and music videos). As a longtime fan of Bong’s work, the chance to write about his films, which defy easy categorization and seem, to me, to be in their own class entirely, was a dream come true.
