Jeong Man-sik
12 films · 2 series
The pressure the tiger hunter puts on the screen is stronger than the tiger's own, so the Korean Film Council dossier's writer says. That 2015 work of Jeong Man-sik's, The Tiger of 2015, is the furthest forward he comes in our catalogue: directly behind Choi Min-sik, number two in the order. The same dossier traces the career back to the stage; after the Seoul Theater Festival gave him its best actor prize in 2004, a theatre prize rather than a film one, his road led to cinema and television. His twelve catalogued works crowd into 2012 to 2022, and outside that one film he never reaches the top two.
