Description de l'ouvrage :
Korean cinema, though currently established as one of the most successful international film industries, has never been a fair ground for women filmmakers. Amidst the heavily male dominated Korean cinema and the film industry, Yim has consistently produced critically and commercially influential films and has been recognized at numerous film festivals/awards both in and outside of Korea. Yim has produced/directed over a dozen films including shorts – the highest number that any female director has ever achieved in Korea. Also, Yim is the only female director with a blockbuster (Gyoseop, 2023) under her belt, which was always considered to be the arena for male directors.
ReFocus: The Films of Yim Soon-rye will be the very first English-language book that showcases critical readings of Yim’s work and simultaneously, this volume will address and position Yim in the larger historical context of Korean cinema and women filmmakers in the world.

Revue de Presse :
Ranging from an award-winning independent short to the first K-blockbuster directed by a woman, Yim Soon-rye’s films are characterized by many ‘breakthroughs.’ This book provides essential readings for anyone exploring modern Korean cinema, encompassing feminist, queer and ecological issues articulated in Yim's films and her own life. -- Hong-joon Kim, Korean Film Archive
This anthology reveals the evolving contour of Yim Soon-rye’s career as they challenge the interpretation of mainstream and independent cinema in Korea. Covering Yim's exploration of gender, violence, and nature and her use of popular film form, this book serves as a helpful guide to anyone wishing to expand their knowledge of contemporary Korean filmmaking practices and authorship. -- Jinsoo An, University of California, Berkeley
