Like The Day He Arrives (also playing on June 9), Oki’s Movie is a formally innovative film about filmmakers and students. This comedic tale of romantic mishaps is essentially a suite of four short films examining its characters at different times in their lives. In the first, we meet disgruntled film professor Jingu (Lee Sun-kyun, Parasite), who makes the mistake of getting drunk before a Q and A session. The second flashes back to Jingu’s happier college years and his relationship with his first girlfriend, Jung Ok-heui (Jung Yu-mi, Train to Busan). The third follows Jingu’s friend Song (Moon Sung-keun, Burning) as he contemplates quitting teaching. In the eponymous fourth film, Ok-huei tells of her own affairs with two different older men. “With dry, crisp visual wit and mercurial psychological insight, Hong probes the dreams and delusions of youth and age,” wrote Richard Brody in The New Yorker, calling it “both a personal exorcism and an ingenious formal delight.” (Dir.: Hong Sangsoo, Korea, 2010, 80 min., DCP, Korean with English subtitles)
