Director Im Kwon Taek is regarded by many as the father of modern Korean Cinema, and certainly the first director to receive global critical acclaim. With around a hundred films to his credit, in a career spanning five decades, Im has crafted some of Korea's most revered, and successful films.

The General's Son is set during the Japanese occupation of Korea, where the oppression of the Imperial rulers is escalating in the streets of Seoul. Starring Park Sang Min (Tube) and Shin Hyeon Jun (Face), The General's Son is a winning mixture of fast paced action and colonial Korean realism, which helped the film become one of the biggest domestic hits of the 1990s.
