Still unknown, not rich enough and in despair about changing that, Ku Kyung-nam cannot escape anymore the “art film director” label, even at forty years. When the Jecheon festival asked him to be a member of the jury, he accepted with an idea in mind: perhaps he will have some rewarding encounters.
Though he fells asleep in front of the movies, its evenings in company of a childhood friend and others participants become more and more unlikely. Ten days later, the same Ku Kyung-nom went to the Jeju Island to give a conference, at the request of its former film school. He met new people but experienced a lingering sense of déjà vu, and yet…
INTRODUCTION
Through an oversized work, Hong Sang-Soo has developed an art of cinematic variation. Sang-Soo’s films are intertwined as much as they are far apart from each other, despite their common formal artisanal frame. With a singular cruelty and a dull anguish, Like you know it all plays recreates the South Korean filmmaker’s groggy loves and ephemeral encounters dear to his heart.
PRESS
"A trivial and metaphysical tale, made of a moist and hallucinated lucidity, frighteningly hilarious.” Amélie Dubois // Les Inrockuptibles
"A sort of gender war, ruthless and funny, takes place there. Its correctness often triggers a depressive laugh in the audience." Jean-François Rauger , Le Monde

À NE PAS RATER SUR TËNK
À Demain – Voyage au Lac 1 d’Emmanuel DÉMORIS disponible sur Tënk du 4 juillet au 7 novembre.
Premier chapitre d’un film en plusieurs volets, Le Voyage au Lac propose de partager l’expérience d’une double rencontre autour du lac de Bolsena, au nord de Rome. Celle de Maria Pace, guide locale et mémoire vivante du village, et celle de Franck, jeune étudiant camerounais fraîchement arrivé dans ce coin paisible d’Europe. Deux trajectoires, deux milieux, deux histoires, que les saisons relient et transforment.
