This is a wonderful film with standout performances

This is a wonderful film with standout performances by Kim Min-hee and Yung Jae-young. Splitting the general events of the day into two parts, showing how the same day can unravel, change, evolve even between the same few people, is clever and makes for very a insightful, empathetic movie. The two leads have a remarkable chemistry together. The film certainly has it powerful dramatic element, but there's also some nice comedic moments, with at least one absurdly funny scene. There are strong 'if we had met before' and 'if circumstances were different' aspects to the movie, which director & screenwriter Hong San-soo plays on like a virtuoso musician. I loved it. 4 stars

I feel like Song Sang-Soo is slowly revealing

I feel like Song Sang-Soo is slowly revealing his filmmaking style to me as clever, prone to subtle irony (especially about himself and the film craft), greatly specific and idiosyncratic in his aesthetic choices and ultimately humanistic. His 2015 quirky romance (?!) tells the story of a man and a woman meeting and connecting in a Korean small town. He is an alcoholic art house movie director (ahem), deepy unhappy and self-absorbed. She is a wide-eyed and misguided ex model trying to make a living painting. I won't give you any spoiler, especially about Song's chosen form for the film, which I think is its absolute hightlight, but his actor direction and the utter credibility and relatability of the two protagonists and the events going on in their lives partially make up for a self-indulgent romantic ode to the heart.

Double movie strategy where the director is less

Double movie strategy where the director is less authentic and pathetic in the first part. In the second part, by being like the stereotypical wacky artist, being authentic about infidelity, playing hard to get, increases his attraction for the acquaintances. His behavior gives them permission to be imperfect and authentic, and so they like him better.
