b'Briony Kidd joins us to talk the films of Park Chan-wook!
\\nRochelle and Lee look back at some of the new films from this month, including Steve McQueen’s heist drama\\xa0Widows (0:55), the darkly comic Coen Bros Western\\xa0The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (03:57), Boots Riley’s absurdist comedy\\xa0Sorry To Bother You (07:38), and the long-lost Orson Welles film The Other Side of the Wind (10:54).
\\nThey’re then joined by filmmaker, critic, and festival curator Briony Kidd to talk about a recent BBC poll of the hundred greatest foreign language films. There were only four women directors accounted for in the list, so is the problem a lack of female filmmakers, or is it the lists themselves that are the issue? (14:58)
\\nBriony then takes us through her filmmaker of the month, Park Chan-wook. Park is maybe South Korea’s best-known director, with films like\\xa0Sympathy For Mr Vengeance, Olboy and\\xa0Lady Vengeance\\xa0cementing him as a global cult figure. With the English-language\\xa0Stoker and the acclaimed\\xa0The Handmaiden certifying him as one of the modern greats, we look at why there’s so much more to this filmmaker than the bloody vengeance that made him famous.
