My last interview of the year is with none other than one of my favourite directors, the great ✨Park Chan-wook✨ The director was in HK recently for the screenings of his films at @mplusmuseum as well as a masterclass.

Kudos to the student journalists at The Cornell Daily Sun.

This is why journalism matters, at all levels. Keep shining a light on the darkest corners of power.
