Abstract
For foreigners who did not grow up speaking the Korean language, filmic images in contemporary Korean cinema texts speak louder than words. Visiting the “land of morning calm” in person and floating on the surface of Korean society has inspired our desire to gain a deeper understanding of these images and their puzzling place in Korean culture. Truly experiencing the Korean cinema revolves around heart-felt journeys into solving some of these puzzles. We have begun another sojourn with this reading of the editing style in Park Chan-wook’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002).
