Best Park Chan-wook Films, Ranked by IQ Score
Three decades of the Korean director who redefined revenge-cinema. Every Park Chan-wook film, ranked by IQ Score.
Park Chan-wook's filmography is the most-formally-distinctive Korean auteur catalog of the post-2000 international cinema renaissance. The Vengeance Trilogy (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance / Oldboy / Lady Vengeance) established his international reputation; the later catalog (The Handmaiden, Decision to Leave) extended it.
Anchor picks: Oldboy (2003) is the canonical entry, Cannes Grand Prix winner, the film that introduced most international audiences to Korean cinema. The Handmaiden (2016) is the catalog's most-baroquely-constructed entry. Decision to Leave (2022) won Park the Cannes Best Director award. Lady Vengeance is the trilogy's most-formally-disciplined third installment.
