In an active and prolific career, his films have won many domestic and international film festival awards, as well as considerable box-office success, and helped bring international attention to the Korean film industry. Korean cinema was virtually unavailable to the West during the Japanese colonial period , and no film made before has been recovered even though Korea had an active film-making industry that produced at least films.His desire to make more artistically satisfying films began to show itself with his film Jokbo (Genealogy or The Family Tree), but the turning point of his career came with the film Mandala. From this point his films have been regarded as art-house cinema, and have been regularly shown at international film festivals, and have won numerous awards.
Im has continued to explore themes from Korea's past while also focusing on the Korean cultural identity in modern times. Among Im's most notable recent films are Sopyonje () and Chunhyang (), both of which concentrate on the traditional Korean musical art of pansori. The latter film was also based on a traditional Korean legend.
Apart from being a critical success, Sopyonje was also a success at the box office, becoming the first domestic film to draw over a million viewers in Seoul alone. Chihwaseon () was also a critical success, earning him Korea's first Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival.[1] Im Kwon-taek was awarded an Honorary Golden Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival in
Im Kwon-taek's status, brought on by the critical success of his films, overlapped with a period of the film movement called "New Korean Cinema" or "Korean New Wave".
Along with other directors, such as Park Gwang-su and Jang Sun-woo, Im is recognized as one of the founding figures of the movement, which gained international critical recognition and acclaim for Korean Cinema.
In April , Im released his th film Beyond the Years, an informal sequel to Sopyonje. In November the French government announced that it would make Im a knight of the French Legion of Honor.[2][1]
In , a museum dedicated to Im opened in Busan, on the Dongseo University Centum City Campus.[3]
A documentary on Im, Cloud, Encore () by well-known film critic-turned-director Jung Sung-il, made its world premiere at the 23rd Busan International Film Festival in [4][5]

He married the actress (Chae Ryeong&#;[ko]), who appeared in several of his films.[6] Their two sons Im Dong-joon and Im Dong-jae ( Hyun-sang) are also active in the film industry.[7]
