A good year for South Korea by the look of it. And good to see a few votes for Tsai Ming-liang's (what I imagine would be quite divisive) masterpiece Goodbye Dragon Inn.

A good year for South Korea by the look of it. And good to see a few votes for Tsai Ming-liang's (what I imagine would be quite divisive) masterpiece Goodbye Dragon Inn. 2003 happened to be the year I saw my first South Korean film, Phantom: The Submarine. But I think more generally, it really was a watershed year for the South Korean industry. As well as the very well received films from Kim Ki-duk, Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook and Kim Jee-won, who would all become stalwarts of the industry, there was considerable box office success of Silmido outside of South Korea, paving the way for the following year's blockbuster Taeguki. I'm sure that with more voters, you would also find quite a bit of love out there for Save the Green Planet! and The Classic in particular.
But more than all that, the phenomonal success of the drama series Dae Jang-geum aka Jewel of the Palace probably did more to bring the South Korean film and television industry to an international audience than anything else.
As for Tsai Ming-liang, I'm ashamed to confess that I've never seen any of his films.

Tsai falls pretty squarely on the "arthouse" side of things and the near plotless Goodbye Dragon Inn would be his most testing film to those unfamiliar with his style. His musical The Wayward Cloud is a lot more fun.

I've had an unwatched DVD of What Time Is It There? for years now - I found it at a truckstop, sitting on a $2 shelf among the John Waynes and Chuck Norrises.

That one's worth a watch, a good middle ground and a pretty good representation of the bulk of his work. Actually the first film of his I saw.
