한국어/조선말
옛날 영화를 보러 갔다. 종로 어느 극장 앞, 한 남자가 있다. 그의 이름은 김동수이다. 그는 지금 막 영화 한 편을 보고 나왔다. 오늘 하루가 왠지 남다를 것 같다. 영화 때문인지, 영화를 만든 선배 감독 때문인지는 아직 모르겠다. 극장 앞, 영화 속 여주인공을 마주치다. 극장 앞, 영화 속 여주인공이 지나간다. 그 여배우의 이름은 최영실이다. 햇살이 눈부시다. 여배우 영실은 인파 속으로 사라졌다. 동수는 동창 한 명을 우연히 만난다. 그 역시 선배의 영화를 보러 왔다고 한다. 저녁 때 있을 선배를 위한 동창회 후원모임 이야기도 빼놓지 않는다. 사실 선배는 지금 투병 중이다. ‘가야하나? 말아야 하나?’ 동수는 일단 동창과 헤어져 무작정 종로 길을 걷는다. 저 멀리 여중생들에게 사인을 해주고 있는 여배우 영실이 다시 보인다…. 동수는 그녀를 뒤따라가 본다. 영화 속에 등장했던 안경점에서 멈추는 영실. ‘그녀 역시 방금 영화를 본 탓일까?’ 조심스럽게 다가가 그녀에게 말을 건네보니 의외로 살갑게 대해준다. 극장 앞, 영화 속 여주인공을 마주친 한 남자의 영화 같은 하루가 시작된다…

Right Now, Wrong ThenComedy2016

Quite by accident, a film director arrives in town a day early. With time to kill before his lecture, he stops by a restored palace and meets a fledgling artist (Kim Minhee from THE HANDMAIDEN). She’s never seen any of his films, but knows he’s famous. They talk, they go to her workshop to look at her paintings, and they have sushi and soju. More conversation follows, along with more drinks, and then an awkward get-together with friends where all sorts of secrets are revealed. All the while, they may or may not be falling for each other. Then, quite unexpectedly, we begin again, but now things appear somewhat different. An uncanny romantic comedy, RIGHT NOW, WRONG THEN is a deliciously intricate masterwork from filmmaker Hong Sangsoo.

For his 22nd feature as director, Hong delivers a delicious cinematic riddle only he could concoct. In the corner of a small café, Areum (Kim Minhee) sits typing on her laptop. At the tables around her, other customers enact the various dramas of their lives. A young couple charge each other with serious crimes, an old man tries to rekindle a flame with a younger woman, a narcissistic filmmaker works to put together his next project—all while Areum types. Is she merely writing what she hears? Or is she hearing what’s been written? As the dramas inside the café unfold, the plants outside grow taller.

Presented in a beautiful restoration and newly translated, Hong Sangsoo’s breakthrough second feature, THE POWER OF KANGWON PROVINCE, is an early masterwork from the prolific filmmaker. Playing with structure, perspective and time – elements that would become hallmarks of his later work – the film follows a young woman, Jisook, who, fresh off her relationship with a married man, joins two girlfriends for a vacation in the mountainous Kangwon region and quickly makes the same mistakes, tumbling into bed with a married policeman. The film then shifts to her ex, Sangwon, who happens to be visiting the same region at the same time, and threatens to cross Jisook’s path.
