In Korea is what I do is I watch the playback of each take with all of the actors and spend a lot of time discussing each take. Also, I use the process we call auto-assembly because I storyboard my entire film right at the beginning, even before pre-production ever begins, so my vision is already laid out on the storyboard for everybody to share. It enables the on-set assembly person, as we call them, to cut together each take into a sequence. This enables a director to review the take within the context of the sequence of the scene.

A priest encounters temptation every day, and some of that desire is very natural.

When I'm writing something, if it gets too serious, I just can't bear it, so I take a step back and take the overall scene in and vent the air a little bit.

I'd like to do a really masculine film.

I became a film director, but I wasn't successful with my first couple of films, so I had to turn to becoming a film critic to make a living.

The point of revenge is not in the completion but in the process.

I am not going to do a film based on a bad scenario just to make a big Hollywood film or work with Hollywood stars.
