In Another Country
Directed by Hong Sang-soo (France, South Korea, 2012)
Legendary French actress Isabelle Huppert stars in the first English-language film from South Korean master Hong Sang-soo, "the love child Antonioni and Hou Hsiao-hsien never had" (Village Voice). In a triptych of overlapping stories, three different French women (a filmmaker, an adulterer and a divorcée - Huppert, Huppert and...Huppert) visit a small Korean resort town and encounter a flirtatious director, a lovestruck lifeguard and far too much soju. Hong's latest tale of love, lust and misunderstanding, In Another Country is an effortless, laugh-out-loud comedy that plays like a lost French New Wave classic. 89 minutes. In English and Korean with English subtitles.
