Abstract

In 2018, the dialogue “Interpreting the Anger in ‘Burning’” between directors Lee Chang-dong and Jia Zhangke revealed how Lee Chang-dong has expressed and explored the emotion of anger in various ways throughout his creative career. Academic research on Lee Chang-dong as an auteur has gradually deepened, focusing mainly on the realistic expression of his works, gender narratives, and thematic presentations. However, there has not yet been a comprehensive and systematic discussion on the core issue of “anger” that runs through Lee Chang-dong’s works. Starting from the perspective of authorial strategy, Lee Chang-dong’s expression of anger involves the definition of anger, its origins, and the ways it is expressed. These elements together construct a unique perspective and deep contemplation in his cinematic world.
