Korean Film Festival: On the Beach At Night Alone
Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour, VancouverArt imitates life in this quietly devastating masterpiece from Hong Sangsoo. Kim Minhee (The Handmaiden, Right Now, Wrong Then)—in the role that won her the Silver Bear for best actress in Berlin—plays Younghee, an actress reeling in the aftermath of an affair with a married film director. Younghee visits Hamburg then returns to Korea, but as she meets with friends increasingly startling confessions emerge. "As gut-wrenching, funny, and formally freewheeling as anything in recent cinema." Film Comment
