where did you find his films, I mean less famous ones? Some are so hard to find

I wish there was a dvd set on sale with all of his films

What's the music at 10:09?

A cute little film about a group of happy-go-lucky Hungarian villagers having a fun time with their cat. Their carefree attitudes, a soundtrack that will make you jump up and dance and the gorgeous and colourful landscape photography just shout Joie de vivre. To summarise this film in one word: YOLO.

To me, seeing a real cat be put under such distress against its will makes the entire film irredeemable. Does no one else agree? I saw the whole film in the cinema but nearly stormed out during that scene. Why do we promote, study, and celebrate a film whose director considers himself so important that he can torment and psysically restrain an animal?

Although I don't agree with your (over?)analysis at times, it was a brave attempt at dissecting Sátántángo. When asked what the rain symbolises, Tarr would shrug and say "it's just rain". I like that answer. That said, your analysis was also brilliant at times.

outstanding and lucid. thank you . this should be a leading resource in discussion of satantango

This was great! Only seen The Woman Who Ran and In Front of Your Face but been keen to learn more about Hong Sang-Soo's films. Looking forward to watching the rest!

Honestly the ascent does nothing for me

Brazil mentioned 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷

Не приезжайте в мордовию

it wasn't 4 people, you forgot Gábor Medvigy who was pretty much as involved as Tarr himself

these are some of the worst actually

"A Different Kind of Cinema", yeah, different in it's narcissism and self-obsessed, whiny redundance, especially for an asian director. Maybe different because he exploits his personal life and the people around him for his movies even more than western directors do.

Great work!

where to watch, i've watched 3, it's so hard for me to fing his debut

Was an absolute joy to listen to!

Just came across your channel and I'm loving it! Great work man, keep it up!

Great video, thanks!

I watched my first Hong Sang Soo film last Night - 'A Tale of Cinema' & then today 'Woman is the Future of Man'. & I am hooked. Unfortunately, Mubi India has just these two, what surprised me is that as a Cinema Student & working Actor have been following Korean Cinema since 2003 when I watched a film called 'Art Museum by the Zoo' at the Mumbai Film Festival and then of course 'Old Boy' and 'Bittersweet life' and kept up with Korean Cinema post that till last year, But why had I not watched Hong Sang-Soo maybe because as a younger man, I would not have understood his work or his genius ! as I did in the last two days, to End this post wanted to say a few months ago surfing TH-cam had came across this video by you which made me aware of The Man for the very first time that's why I decided to see the film on Mubi because of your Analysis today after seeing his cinema I saw your Video again and want to thank you for being the first to introduce me to the films of Hong Sang-Soo with this One video I randomly saw a few months ago :)

I decided to introduce people to his work with Introduction or A Novelist's Film these days

This is great, great film commentary. But the music is way too intrusive.

I love the Barbie film and also love Daisies. I love that you paired the two

Good, sir. I don't know how I stumbled upon this video, but you had earned my subscription after two minutes.

Jeanne Dielman is a masterclass in cinematic tension, performance, expression, and making all the small things feel so loud.

Great, great video!

REMARKABLE LIST.

There are a number of film makers who I believe have made better films. However every one of them has made a film or two I didn't care for. So far I am up to 17 Hong Sang-soo films, and every one of them has been enjoyable and held a few pleasant surprises. In this regard no other film maker can approach IMO.

werckmeister is shit, replace it with the fifth seal

Você provavelmente foi o único gringo da história que defendeu O Auto da Compadecida kkkkk ❤

Horrible comentary, basicaly two men trying to be seen as progressive liberal. Insufrible. Meshes of the afternoon at 15?? Are u crazy. Where the fuck is un chien andaluz?

I ADORE his style and filmmaking, but find it difficult to be a fan of his,which is causing me to be decreasingly interested in his future work.. On the one hand I really appreciate that he makes films as honestly as he can, making simple, relatable, mundane works, but on the other hand this quality of honesty and self-reflection leads him to make films mostly about himself and his partner (lover? mistress? Is Hong still married ?), which in return makes his discography extremely masturbatory. Take "Right now, Wrong then" as an example. For me, knowing that this is the movie which was the beginning of his extra-marital affairs with Kim Minhee, it makes it _REALLY_ difficult to take the bitter sweet ending seriously (in it, the film director decides NOT to cheat on his wife and the two agree to cheer each other on from a distance) . Hong Sangsoo really spent a few months writing "I will NOT cheat on my wife" on the blackboard, released his work, and then was like "Oopsie looks like I'm cheating on my wife now".

I watched On the Beach at Night alone. A plodding pointless waste of time. Apparently much of it was improvised, and it shows. A sloppy, confusing talkfest where nothing actually happens. I assume the beauty of the leading lady are supposed to distract us from the lack of plot, or character development. Half way through I started fast forwarding through the (no dialogue) filler bits, first 2x, and finally 3x, the final (dinner) scene where the lead lady gets all 'emotional ', but she came across as a self obsessed wacko. Finally we had the predictable copout 'symbolic' ending, ie "I don''t have the talent to write a satisfying ending, so I'll just end it, and pretend it was an 'artistic choice', Ugh. All I felt was annoyance at myself, for being influenced by the people who are calling this guy their "favourite director". What's wrong with you people?

note to self: 30:35

Lol all these movies are way better than Oppenheimer. Say for maybe Godzilla.

there is no movie quite like oppenheimer

What is bratz doing here 😂😂😂

Three films that influenced oppenheimer aren't mentioned here. 1. JFK - Oliver Stone 2. Mirror - Andrei Tarkovsky 3. Dr. Strangelove or : how I Learned to stop Worrying and Love the bomb

Such a good video, thank you for your work!!

What’s a ‘white audience’?

Whoo! Yay! I love THE STACKS!

The turning gate one is my favourite because the guy is such a scumbag like me!

9:00

Regardless of what they think about him in Korea, Hong Sang Soo is such a very critical writer-director combo. He is indeed a visionary. I love his minimalist style in his movies, which makes the stories more solid, personal and emotional. Korean cinema somehow ostracized him and Kim Min Hee.

I’d be interested in watching a video on the films in the list that you hate

I once heard a description of Korean Pyongysng cold noodles. When you first taste them you don't see the attraction, but within a couple days the thought will pop into your head 'I could go for some Pyongysng cold noodles right now.' And then you're hooked. That's how a Hong Sang-soo films work. Its only following the first taste that you start to build an appreciation for them

Great video. I’m always looking to get into filmmakers I never heard of. You’ve given me a lot of homework. Thanks!

I've watched two of his movies. They're about losers, surrounded by losers, and have no point. If that's what you want, watch them. Otherwise you'll just be wondering wtf, like me. I won't be watching any more of his... Just way too... They're all just pathetic losers.

WHY are they always smoking in his films ? 🚭

31:32 There is definitely a reason for the shout "The Turks are coming". It's a historic phase and an Italian Expression - 'Mamma li Turchi! ', or 'Mamma the Turks are coming', it's to suggest imminent danger. The phrases reflect the historical conflict between Italy, and Western Christendom, with the Ottoman empire in the Mediterranean. Shouting it in a church suggest another layer you miss. (You did quite a remarkable analyse overall.) It's a layer about unwanted emigration from the Mid East, about the war between different religions, about fear of the unknown and different people - all this in abandoned church an in a desolated land, shouted by either a prophet or a wacko, but most likely both. Is the fear reasonable or he mock the reality of how people think towards each other with this mad gesture ? Perhaps both. Just like most biblical events happens in deserts, all of those people here have this strange potential of becoming biblical characters. This movie can be unpacked by 100 different ways and always something will be left unspoken.
