Reality Check: Genre (crossing) directors
Originally podcast on Sci-Fi London
Alex Fitch talks to the directors of two recent genre crossing movies - Garth Jennings and Park Chan-Wook - about their films Son of Rambow and I’m a Cyborg (but that’s okay). Alex and Garth also talk about low-fi and hi-fi approaches to special effects making, plus hitting Mos Def with a plank of wood on the set of the Hitchhiker’s Guide of the Galaxy while Alex also talks to Park (via translator Sinae Lew and actor Philip Hayden) about themes of pop culture in the latter’s movies, such as Oldboy, and how the suppression of freedom in Korea influenced his subject matter.
