Turning Gate

2002
Drama
1h 55m
This low key, insightful, and ultimately devastating film quietly observes a callow young man in his search for love. Utterly ill-equipped for the challenge, he bounces from one encounter to another, hoping that he'll find the connection to life that's missing in his life, but instead, he causes pain wherever he goes in his self-absorbed quest. When he finally utters the words "I love you" they are hollow and come immediately after his admission of dishonesty, manipulation and deception. (imdb)

the earliest hong i've seen, and it's remarkable how fully formed his obsessive schtick already was. doubling of characters and story beats, toxic males, the incorporation/mirroring of an external text, formal impositions onto the narrative, alcohol-fuelled confrontations, actors playing actors, awkward stilted dialogues, poetry, rohmerian moralising over the actions of flawed, fickle characters--only the zooms are missing. one of his harsher films, about a snake learning(?) to become human.

Pretty much the platonic ideal of a Hong Sang-soo film. 'Even though it's difficult to be a human being, let's not turn into monsters.'

A touch too light in its subject matter which makes the movie rather easy to forget.
