A very sparse and introverted film, which finds empathy through patient and unyielding observation. Watching Kim navigate her way through social niceties while occasionally spilling her guts is often wrenching. And yet, it has a subdued dignity.

less a typical hong than a space for his leading lady to find closure and whitmanian similitude after their much-publicised, damaging (to her) IRL affair. from the subtler-than-usual formal gimmicks (much of it seems either a film-within-a-film or an imagining) to the surreal flourishes, hong's devoted to kim's headspace here, and the result is more abstract, passive and serious than his usual schtick. that isn't necessarily to my tastes, but idk that he can approach this topic any other way.

The surrealist elements really bring dimension to the relational tensions experienced by Young-hee. Hong's two-act structure works very well here, given the different perspective Young-hee has in each section. That Hong underplays this distinction allows us to perceive it slowly, a sort of dawning awareness that he brings to a close beautifully with the pairing of two beach scenes.

kamera hareketleri makyajsızlıktan ziyade acemilik hissi verse de başlarda, zaman içerisinde yönetmenin diğer işlerine benzer samimi bir gündeliği hissettiriyor. biçim olarak bu hissiyatı destekleyişi başarılı olsa da sinematografik olarak öne çıkan yanı geriye bıraktığı üç imaj: ikisi kumsalda, birisi köprüde. bu dahi aslında farklı bir boyutta hareket ettiğinin göstergesi oluyor.

Sang-soo Hong is one of those minimalist auteurs of marginal differentiations so revered because liking the same monotone film over and over amounts to a willful act of connoisseurship - we feel as if we have worked at something, participated in the creation of meaning. Once in 2002 he made a genuinely mysterious Buddhist film about doubles and the repetition of stories. Now it's two movies a year, all of them interchangeable. He'll still zoom in and out of dinner conversations when he's 110.

Sang-soo's open letter about relationships, cinema and the connections and situations that make both things uncomfortably dramatic, awkward and unescapable. Less zooming than usual, but two-part narrative serving a woman's torment and a sense of displacement in an artistic world that now seems both familiar and strange - suicidal thoughts filtered by funny remarks or curious flashes of a weird man asking what time is it or cleaning a window. Love ghosts are real and they follow you everywhere.

With each new film Hong Sang-soo dips his toes a little farther in terms of refining his technique or expanding his narrative horizons, and this is another solid entry into his canon. It features a great performance by Kim Min-hee and the usual naturalism in the writing and scenario. This time around we're thrown for a loop once in a while when the odd (presumably metaphorical) character pops into the frame for a bit then vanishes back into the protagonist's jumbled memories. Nicely done.

This was the first movie by Sang-soo Hong for me, and I knew right away that I was not going to like his works. It just was not the type of film I would find interesting, meaningful, or beautiful.
