S6E2 - Joint Security Area (2000)


Hello everyone, 

In this episode of Heroic Purgatory: An Asian Cinema Podcast, John and Jason talk about Park Chan-wook's first(-ish) feature film, Joint Security Area (2000). In the midst of our discussion, a daring proposition emerges: is this the director's best film. Listen to our thoughts about the film's themes of Korean separation, isolation, male friendship, and the role of gender in military society.

Let us know what you think!
