In his rave review of Introduction, the New Yorker’s Richard Brody calls Hong Sangsoo “one of the most prolific and one of the most original directors in the world,” and notes that Hong’s twenty-fifth feature introduces “a new and mighty theme, the bitter clash of generations—the fury of young love and the inevitable misunderstandings and missteps that result from parents’ indifference and involvement.” The film follows doctor’s son and aspiring actor Young-ho through three fateful encounters with his girlfriend, his father, and his mother. To say any more would spoil the complex arrangement of plotlines and surprising story turns. (Dir.: Hong Sangsoo, Korea, 2021, 66 min., DCP, Korean with English subtitles)
