Narrative

For his 27th feature, Hong holds a mirror up to his own artistic process and asks what exactly it is we’re looking for from a work of art. As his characters discuss their lives and work and the ways they intertwine, Hong sets down a sort of manifesto for his own inimitable oeuvre before exploding it (or perhaps fully realizing it) in a moving final flourish.  The Novelist’s Film is a summation of Hong’s career-long artistic project, even as it signals bold new directions.

The final feature in Matías Piñeiro's series of films inspired by the women of Shakespeare's comedies is his most structurally daring and visually stunning work to date.Isabella is a film about the ongoing battle between doubt and ambition that never discounts the possibility of a new beginning.

The Zürcher brothers compose a poetic panopticon of forms of human relationships that is at once a study of everyday life, a fairytale and a psychological portrait of a brittle world. A winner at the Berlinale, The Girl and the Spider is about human togetherness, a ballad about the need for closeness and the pain of separation.

This brand new three disc Blu-ray box set includes three films from Hong Sangsoo.  Nobody's Daughter Haewon, Our Sunhi and Oki's Movie.

One of Hong's most structurally audacious films, Oki's Movie comprises four short films arranged in an almost nesting doll formation.  Oki's Movie beguiles as it befuddles and, in its moving final section, inaugurates Hong's interest in female subjectivity.

An almost-romantic roundelay of comic attempts at understanding ensues when recent film school graduate Sunhi returns to her university to ask her professor for a reference letter to study abroad. Directed by Hong Sangsoo.

With her mother about to depart for a new life in Canada, college student Haewon (Jung Eunchae) is in quite a state. Haewon drifts in and out of dreams and has a series of encounters in this wonderful film from director Hong Sangsoo
