Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Woman on the Beach, perhaps [director Hong's] most accessible film (and often a funny one, too), is a good introduction, even if it is not a masterpiece. Here's hoping more of his films see the light of an American day.

fresh:
A richly satisfying film that compassionately probes the human heart while preserving its elusive mysteries.

fresh:
Reminiscent of Godard's Contempt, but writer-director Hong Sang-soo--South Korea's foremost chronicler of romantic maneuvering--is more aptly compared to Eric Rohmer for his subtle comedy.

You won't need a degree in Korean cinema to anticipate that complications will arise.

The scenery's great and the performances adequate, but wake me when it's over.
