Bong Joon-ho's Sight and Sound ballot
his top 10 for the BFI's 2022 directors' poll, alongside Scorsese, Chazelle, and everyone else who did one. the genre picks throughout say a lot.
01
A City of Sadness (1989, dir. Hou Hsiao-hsien)
Hou Hsiao-hsien - not a name that shows up on many directors' ballots outside Asia, probably the one worth tracking down first
02
Cure (1997, dir. Kiyoshi Kurosawa)
03
Happy as Lazzaro (2018, dir. Alice Rohrwacher)
most recent film on his list, by a decade
04
The Housemaid (1960, dir. Kim Ki-young)
the original Korean one, not the 2010 remake. Parasite owes it a lot
05
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015, dir. George Miller)
06
Psycho (1960, dir. Alfred Hitchcock)
07
Raging Bull (1980, dir. Martin Scorsese)
shows up on Ebert's ballot too, for what it's worth
08
Rocco and His Brothers (1960, dir. Luchino Visconti)
09
Vengeance Is Mine (1979, dir. Shohei Imamura)
Imamura, the one people skip because it's brutal. it's supposed to be
10
Zodiac (2007, dir. David Fincher)
gets the most 'wait, really?' of anyone here - a 2007 studio thriller next to Visconti
