THE DAY HE ARRIVES June 15-21
A film by Hong Sangsoo, Drama, NR, 79 min., in Korean with English subtitles.
"one of the loveliest, lightest films at cannes this year, pensive yet often swept by quiet pleasures."- Daniel Kasman, Mubi.com
A film director who no longer makes films, Seongjun, arrives in Seoul to meet a close friend. When the friend doesn't show up, Seongjun wanders the city aimlessly. He runs into an actress he used to know, shares a drink with some film students and against his better judgment, heads to his ex-girlfriend's apartment. The next day goes very much like the last; Seongjun meets the actress, has drinks with friends, and falls for woman who looks remarkably like
his ex-girlfriend. Each new day plays out like a flimsy copy of the previous one, but only Seongjun knows why. Infused with a playfulness and dry wit that recalls the films of Woody Allen and Eric Rohmer, The Day He Arrives
is a delightful meditation on relationships, filmmaking, and the unknowable forces that govern our lives.
