Woman Is the Future of Man

Synopsis

Two old friends decide over beers to seek out an old flame. What could possibly go wrong? Praised by Martin Scorsese for his “masterful sense of storytelling,” Hong Sang-soo’s fifth feature set the blueprint for his career to come. Like Korea’s answer to Éric Rohmer, Hong’s chatter is playful, wry, and unassuming, and this early masterpiece begs its audiences to “listen for the meaning hidden between the seemingly inconsequential, everyday dialogue.”
