Tale of Cinema
Hong Sang-soo, one of cinema’s most exciting and original talents (Turning Gate, NYFF ‘02, Woman is the Future of Man, NYFF ‘04) continues his distinctly personal brand of filmmaking with this wry story about sex, lies, and cinematic one-upmanship. The less successful of two film-school graduates is hung up on the notion that the other, more flourishing classmate had stolen elements of his life to make his first movie. As art and life keep twisting in a Moebius strip, the male psyche, South Korean version, is bared with detached amusement in all its doggedness, uncertainty, and will to power. The film has a fresh, New Wave physical charm, with Seoul standing in for Paris; a daring structural playfulness; and an audacious fidelity to the perverse, self-defeating impulses of human character.  90 min.  South Korea/France, 2005.
* Director expected to attend.
