In Split Screen Korea,
author Steven Chung illustrates how the career of Korea's most important
postwar film director reveals surprising continuities between South and North
Korea. He illuminates the story of postwar Korean film and popular culture
through the first in-depth account of Shin Sang-ok's remarkable filmmaking
career. The book showcases how cinematic styles, popular culture and
intellectual discourse bridged the divisions of postwar Korea, raising
new questions about political partition.
