Special Screenings

Korea / 2018 / 66 min.
Director: HONG Sang-soo

Classical music fills a small cafe where a man and a woman are quarreling. The woman is vehemently holding the man responsible for her friend's suicide. The camera pans to the neighboring table where a young woman is seated. She is typing something on the laptop laid out before her. It seems as if she is writing down the conversation taking place next to her. Before long, a young man approaches the woman. He is her younger brother who says he will introduce his girlfriend to her. The woman is led out of the cafe by her brother.... HONG Sangsoo's gift for minimalism is fully on display all within the very confined setting of this film which screened in the Forum Section of the Berlin International Film Festival.
