Woman Is the Future of Man

The first snow has fallen on Seoul. Munho, a young plastic arts lecturer, meets his friend Hunjoon, a penniless filmmaker just back from the USA. They set off on the trail of a memory: Sunhwa, a young woman whom they were both in love with a few years earlier... “On an aesthetic level, no other filmmaker produces the same weird tempo created by Hong's editing, and the elegance which underlies the awkward surface of his films. This is not where you should look for lectures on social ills or for moving tributes to humanity, but if you want an honest and sober effort to depict something truthful in human relationships, then this film is something you will enjoy more and more with each repeated viewing.” Darcy Paquet, koreanfilm.org
