Yu Hyun-mok (born July 2, 1925) is a South Korean film director. Born in Sariwon, North Hwanghae, Korea (North Korea today), he made his film debut in 1956 with Gyocharo (Crossroads).[1] According to the website koreanfilm.org, his 1961 film Obaltan "has repeatedly been voted the best Korean film of all time in local critics' polls."[1] His dedication to the intellectual side of film and interest in using film to deal with social and political issues led him to have difficulties both with box-office-oriented producers, and with Korea's military government during the 1960s and 1970s.[1] Korean critics have said his directing style is "in the tradition of the Italian Neorealists," yet "the terms 'modernist' or 'expressionistic' [are] just as applicable to his works."[2]
Besides his directing activities, he has taught film,[1] and made a significant contribution to Korean animation by producing Kim Cheong-gi's 1976 animated film, Robot Taekwon V. A retrospective of Yu's career was held at the 4th Pusan International Film Festival in 1999.[2]
