Bong Joon Ho and Lee Isaac Chung Talk Minari, Family and Working With Steven Yeun

Last year, Bong Joon Ho made history and won four Academy Awards with his film Parasite, detailing a downontheirluck Korean family ingratiating themselves into the lives of a wealthy household. Lee Isaac Chungs Minari describes a different family; based on Chungs childhood experiences, the film casts Steven Yeun and Yeri Han as Korean immigrants in the 1980s who move to Arkansas to start a new life as farmers. Alan Kim plays their son, David, who balks when his grandmother (a scenestealing Yuhjung Youn) comes to live with them. The two filmmakers discussed creating onscreen families, telling personal stories and their work with Yeun as a part of Varietys inaugural FYC Fest.
