Hoog Sangsoo in London

Discovering Korean film director,

Hong Sangsoo (홍상수) in London
@ BFI (British Film Institute).

All of his films are showing over the next few weeks, 5-28 Sept '10

Hanging on the notice board in my flat

A colleague mentioned about his film showing at

BFI and he was going to see his latest film 'HAHAHA'.

I didn't make it for that one, but him, his partner and I

arranged to see his debut film 'The day a pig fall into the wall,1996'(돼지가 우물에 빠진 날) over the weekend.

I have seen is film so many years ago, but couldn't remember

any of it. I enjoyed it this time, it was a lot of reality in such
a realistic way, which you don't tend to see this level of depth in

films nowadays. Very well shoot with low budget 
but it can be quite depressing and heavy.... 
I was so surprised to see so many non-Koreans in the cinema, 
there were only a hand full of Koreans including me.  
I might go and see another film....Quite a interesting feeling 
seeing Korean films in the cinema in London!
