In an extensive poll created over at the terrific Korean film website site KoreanScreen.com, editor Trevor Treharne compiled the hefty results and published the results of the 100 Greatest Korean Films just weeks ago. Given our recent dive into Korean Cinema at Filmotomy, we are urging you to check out the array of excellence offered by one of the finest nations of filmmaking. The likes of Hong Sangsoo, Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, Lee Chang-dong, and Kim Jee-woon feature multiple times in the final ranking – ultimately decided by the participating 158 international film critics spanning 28 countries across the world. KoreanScreen also published an insightful article on just how that list was constructed – which you can read right here.
