Listen "Parasite"
Episode Synopsis
ACE Eddie-winning and Oscar-nominated editor Jinmo Yang reaches out from his edit suite in Seoul, South Korea to talk about his latest film with director Bong Joon Ho, the critically acclaimed Parasite. The film itself has the distinction of being nominated for both Best Picture and Best International Feature Film for the 2020 Academy Awards. In this interview Jinmo discusses why he feels Parasite's appeal has crossed over cultural and linguistic differences, as well as the unique process in South Korean cinema where it's actually the assistant editor that works on set. He also shares with us his influences; from the Cohen brothers to Hong Kong "Second Wave" filmmaker, Wong Kar-Wai. Finally, we discuss his work on Train To Busan, the ground-breaking South Korean film that takes the well-worn concept of a "zombie flick" in a whole new direction.
