My Take
Bae Doona is, to my mind, one of Asia's most quietly fearless actors. From Take Care of My Cat to Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance she built a reputation for delicate, unshowy work, then casually leapt borders into Hollywood and Hirokazu Kore-eda's cinema without losing her own register. Her 2015 Asian Film Award for Best Actress feels almost like an afterthought next to that range. That she is also a working photographer with her own site only deepens my admiration. What I value most is her refusal to chase trends; she picks projects by instinct and taste, and that integrity is rare and magnetic.
