I couldn't stop watching this, even as it slowly and awkwardly meandered its way in and around Paris, then back to Korea. You have to admire Hong's patience with his characters, no matter how absurdly juvenile they may be. The payoff is painfully funny. At one point, I thought I saw Rohmer's spirit peaking through the clouds.

La difusa y tramposa línea que hay entre el amor y el deseo es retratada en esta película con mucha honestidad, con un tono discreto que cabalga entre el drama y la comedia. El estilo es de una sencillez admirable, heredero de ciertos trabajos de Truffaut y Rohmer.

wow i think the trailer above has as many cuts as the 144-minute movie, if not more.

Soundtrack ID request: Would anyone be able to tell me what the classical overture is, that is used intermittently in the film?

This may be the funniest film of the last decade. And not only that, but Hong is developing his own trademark camera work, one that is as distinct, albeit much more restrained, as that of Fassbinder. Hong is only one of a handful directors working today who has not yet made a single bad film.

Quite a shame that this superb film - perhaps Hong's most ironic piece yet - still hasn't received an official Korean DVD release; not even KOFIC has a print of it.

Damn there's no english subs on the Japanese dvd! Maybe this means someone will port it though and add subs?

The master of the awkward moment. The Land of the Fermenting Cabbage has yet to produce a finer filmmaker than Hong Sang-soo. (I haven't seen this yet, which is why there's no review.)

My absolute favorite film of 2008. I would love to see it on DVD or on this website, but I don't believe it has any kind of American distribution. It is a fabulous and subtle study of masculine desire. What do you see in the clouds at the end?

I would say this film is the combination of Rohmer and Buñuel, it is a little bit long but full of surprise.

I remember watching this film a couple of months ago. Although fashionably long, I take great joy of watching characters that have absolutely nothing to do but see were the day takes them -at least in the beginning of the storyline-. I also enjoyed Hong Sang-soo's ocational comeding punch. I think I have to see this and Woman on the Beach again. This director has a sharp perspective on relationships.
