Prolific and endlessly inventive, Hong Sangsoo has been Korea’s reigning art house auteur for nearly three decades. His films are regularly screened—and frequently receive awards—at all the world’s major film festivals, from Cannes to Berlin to Venice and beyond. His playful use of story structure, incorporating repetitions, variations, and films-within-films, is catnip to cinephiles who love a filmmaker who takes to his craft with originality, wit, and verve. This retrospective, which continues through June, is copresented with the National Gallery of Art and the AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, Maryland. It is made possible thanks to the generous support of the National Museum of Korea.
