# Joint Security Area (2000)

2000 · 110 min · Drama, Thriller, Mystery · South Korea

Original title: 공동경비구역 JSA

## Synopsis

Joint Security Area is a 2000 South Korean mystery thriller film directed and co-written by Park Chan-wook and based on the novel DMZ by Park Sang-yeon. It is Park Chan-wook's third film as director, and is frequently regarded as his first film with creative control; as he largely disowned his first two films, The Moon Is... the Sun's Dream (1992) and Trio (1997), Park himself prefers the film to be regarded as his directorial debut.
