  • Summary: Oki’s Movie is comprised of four short films. Three main characters appear in all of the four shorts, having differentbut overlapping roles in each of them. The last one, is a story of a film student Oki who made a film abouttwo men she has dated; one young and the other much older. In her f film, she makes a cinematographicconstruction of her experiences of coming to Acha Mountain with each man with a year apart. Shejuxtaposes her experiences with each man by paring them according to places on the mountain: the parking lot, the entrance, a small pavilion, the public toilet, the wooden bridge, and halfway upthe mountain. We see the differences and similarities of the two experiences in details. And by thiscomposition, we may feel that we are seeing an overall picture of Oki’s relationships with the two men.

    Mr. Hong's casually brilliant feat of storytelling, akin to an ingeniously wrought suite of literary short fiction.

    If the characterizations are fleeting, the recessive mood is not: Hong's signature observational style is at once offhanded and astute, romantic and lightly chilled.

    Forget the snark about him ransacking Eric Rohmer's bag of tricks; the gentle ironies and droll, bitter wit here prove Hong is the French New Waver's heir apparent.

    Hong Sang-soo once again corroborates auteurist theory at the same time that he reveals the potential shortcomings of its practice.
