Ground breaking, South Korean film director, Bong Joon Ho won 4 oscars this week for his film PARASITE and the film has also scooped the Palm d’Or, Golden Globe and two BAFTAs.

Bong is the first guest editor of Sight & Sound magazine for the March 2020 issue.

He says “I studied cinema around 30 years ago, I used to read Sight & Sound magazine a lot. I read it with my Film Society members. Sometimes, we even got illegally copied issues and read them. So, it’s very meaningful for me and I’m greatly honoured to work on this issue as a guest editor.”

Sight & Sound’s March cover features exclusive portraits of the director taken by Dean.
