This collection brings together Women is the Future of Man and TaIe of Cinema, the fifth and sixth films by Hong Sangsoo, the masterful South Korean fiImmaker who has been favourably compared to that great French observer of human foibles, Eric Rohmer.
Women is the Future of Man teIIs of two Iong-time friends, a filmmaker (Kim Taewoo) and a teacher (Yoo Jitae), who have had an affair with the same woman (Sung Hyunah). The friends decide to meet the girI one more time and see what happens...
Tale of Cinema uses the trope of a film within a fiIm to telI two stories, that of a depressive young man (Lee Kiwoo) who forms a suicide pact with a friend (Uhm Jiwon); and the tale of a filmmaker (Kim Sangkyung) who sees see a fiIm that he beIieves was based on his Iife, and who meets the actress from the fiIm with view to turning their onscreen relationship into reality.
With these criticaIly-acclaimed fiIms, presented here in High Definition for the first time with a weaIth of extras, Hong Sangsoo empIoys his idiosyncratic, measured styIe to create two compelling and truthfuI tapestries of human emotion and behaviour. |
