Which 2011 South Korean film directed by Park Chan-wook is titled Paranmanjang in Korean?

The story behind the answer

The 2011 South Korean film directed by Park Chan-wook and titled Paranmanjang in Korean is Night Fishing.

Night Fishing is a short film made by Park Chan-wook and his brother Park Chan-kyong. Its Korean title, Paranmanjang, is commonly translated into English as Night Fishing. The film was shot entirely on iPhones, making it a notable example of feature-style filmmaking created with consumer mobile technology.

The title is connected to the Korean expression “paranmanjang,” which describes a life full of twists and turns. International listings may therefore present the film under its English title, its Korean title, or both. It is not a direct adaptation of Hesiod’s Pandora myth, despite the broader Pandora-related title associations used in some discussions of the film.

Park Chan-wook is also known for films such as Oldboy and The Handmaiden. Those titles are separate works and should not be used as answers to a question about Night Fishing.
