Who was born first, Bertrand Tavernier or Kim Ki-duk?
Kim Ki-duk Kim Ki-duk ( ] ; born December 20, 1960) is a South Korean filmmaker noted for his idiosyncratic art-house cinematic works. His films have received many distinctions in the festival circuit, making him one of the most important contemporary Asian film directors. Major festival awards include Golden Lion at 69th Venice International Film Festival for "Pietà", Silver Lion for Best Director at 61st Venice International Film Festival for "3-Iron", Silver bear for Best Director at 54th Berlin International Film Festival for "Samaria" and Un Certain Regard prize at 2011 Cannes Film Festival for Arirang. His most widely known feature is "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring" (2003), included in film critic Roger Ebert's Great Movies. Two of his films served as official submissions for Academy award for best foreign language film as South Korean entries. He has given scripts to several of his former assistant directors including Juhn Jai-hong ("Beautiful" and "Poongsan") and Jang Hoon ("Rough Cut").
Kenji Fujimoto Kenji Fujimoto (藤本 健二 , Fujimoto Kenji , born 1947) is the pen name of a Japanese chef who claimed that he was former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il's personal sushi chef from 1988 to 2001. Fujimoto published a memoir in 2003 entitled "I was Kim Jong-il's Cook", detailing many of his experiences with Kim Jong-il. Many people doubted the veracity of his claim. However, Fujimoto, contrary to the prevailing consensus of experts on North Korean politics, asserted that Kim Jong-un (who was relatively unknown at that time), rather than Kim Jong-nam, would be appointed as Jong-il's successor. Fujimoto's prediction proved true when Jong-un succeeded his father as Supreme Leader in December 2011.
