I've always been intrigued by meta filmmaking and films about films. This, my first Hong Sang-soo film, Tale of Cinema, however, surprised me multiple times in less than 90 minutes.
But it's not just a film with an interesting twist in it. It tackles difficult subject matters, still maintaining a very self aware and even witty tone. Now having seen Tale of Cinema ad looking qt his filmography, Sang-soo seems like an extremely interesting and most of all consistent filmmaker to me.
