DelMonico Books has published books on art, photography, design, and culture since 2009, many of them with museums, and since 2020 its titles have been distributed worldwide through Artbook/D.A.P. This one was made with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles for its Bong Joon Ho exhibition. Exhibition curator Michelle Puetz edited it, with a new interview by film scholar Nam Lee, an essay by critic Amy Taubin, and reflections from Guillermo del Toro, Robert Pattinson, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and cinematographer Darius Khondji.
This is a book for anyone who wants to see how a director builds a film before the camera rolls. Storyboards, notebooks, concept art, models, props, and behind-the-scenes photography from Bong's own archive show how he turns class, injustice, and political corruption into stories with a dark sense of humor, and it works as well on a coffee table as on a film shelf.
