Bong Joon-ho, the director of South Korea's first Oscar-winning film, said Martin Scorsese reached out and told him to 'get back to work'
SEOUL - The stark inequality between two South Korean families portrayed in the Oscar-winning film “Parasite” might make viewers uncomfortable but it was the “only path” to revealing cold reality, the film’s director, Bong Joon-ho, said on Wednesday.
“You might feel uncomfortable and dislike those scenes but I did not want to sugarcoat them,” Bong told a news conference with the film’s cast and crew in the South Korean capital of Seoul. Bong, who had paid homage to Martin Scorsese in a speech at the Oscars, said the Hollywood veteran offered congratulations and expressed expectations for his next film in a letter.
Accepting the best director award, Bong had cited a remark by Scorsese, also a nominee for mob drama “The Irishman”, to the effect that “The most personal is the most creative.”
