    Hong is also really random....

    A wretched, sleazy, and inferior Korean man and a beautiful, snow-white and rich Gaul young woman drew a circle on the seashore, drank wine, talked about love, and ate barbecued...

    The interesting part about Hong Sang-soo is that it is not only the echoes (Lighthouse, Umbrella) in the individual films, but the echoes (not just the similarities) between many of his films. It would be no exaggeration to say that he made one movie in his life. This one is probably going for an award and is less willing to tell stories (structure, metaphors). Ass: The protagonists of "In a Foreign Land" and "Day and Night" are both in foreign...

    The three-stage structure didn't reveal any new tricks, and I was slightly disappointed as a brain-dumping fan. It's just that Hong Shangxiu is getting more and more handy in making such witty sketches. Hu Peier is in charge of acting as a mirror, Liu Junxiang is in charge of selling cuteness, and at the end, the sheets are rolled up and you say how bland the taste...

    The narrative becomes more and more free, like a novelist directly showing his most immature...

    After reading the first story, after the French woman in red reappeared, I didn't feel that one person played multiple roles. Repeated lifeguards, big-bellied Korean women, leading the way to the store, lighthouses, seaside, barbecues, so experimental, I actually remember them all...

    저기...안느, 유아소뷰티풀. Looking around, it's all Hong Sangxiu's little craftsmanship. The man who is the director is always scum, the soju is always good, the lifeguard is always strong, the barbecue is always delicious, the lighthouse is never found, and the Korean English is always good. I feel more and more that watching Hong Sang Soo's films is not about the plot, not the scene, not the lines, not the style, but the...

    Hong Sang-soo still sends good-natured mockery to the intellectuals, "In a foreign country" is still a small pattern and a big proposition - we are just the same group of actors who repeat the same story on the same stage, but it is sometimes cloudy and sunny, sometimes moody , why bother too much? The wonderful thing is that he only uses an umbrella to structure his messy...

    The freewheeling three-stage style hides Hong Changxiu's narrative context and tricks

    When a group of famous Asian directors turn to foreign countries to shoot non-native language films, the theme and script are the most critical, followed by the actors. After all, it is aimed at Western audiences and the market. The director knows that actors play a pivotal role in the success of...

    Hong Sang-soo's insight

    This is a movie about the enlightenment, to be precise, the enlightenment of Hong Sang-soo. The first two stories ask questions, the latter one is for a Zen master to give the answer. In fact, the problem with the first two stories is pervasive in all Hong Sang-soo's films, namely people who lie,...
