The Host, Bong-ho’s 2006 movie, was the first which really got a lot of critical acclaim, and it played at the Cannes Film Festival and was even bought for an English-language remake.
His next movie, Mother, played at the Cannes Film Festival in 2009 to yet more acclaim, getting Bong-ho the attention he deserved.
The next big project for Bong-ho was his first English-language movie, Snowpiercer, which is based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige.
This movie starred Chris Evans, of Captain America fame, as well as Tilda Swinton, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer and John Hurt in one of his later roles.
