Cost: Free The winner of the coveted Golden Leopard at the 2015 Locarno International Film Festival, this cleverly designed twice-told tale is the perfect introduction to Korea’s master of intricate comedy-dramas, Hong Sangsoo. Jung Jae-young (best known for the films Castaway on the Moon and Confession of Murder and the K-drama Partners for Justice) won multiple awards for his performance as Ham Chun-soo, a respected filmmaker who travels to the town of Suwon to show his films. There he meets Yoon Hee-jung, a female artist played by Hong’s romantic and creative partner Kim Min-hee. During a long drinking bout, a relationship rises and falls. Then the film begins again, with variations that show what might have been. “Either hour alone would be a wry, incisive, quietly painful drama. . . . Together, the two parts make a radical fiction about the crucial role of imagination in lived experience” (Richard Brody, The New Yorker). (Dir.: Hong Sangsoo, Korea, 2015, 121 min., DCP, Korean with English subtitles)
