Maybe you have to rewind at the end to catch a little detail that opens up much more of what you've just watched. A subtle change of direction at the half point of the film. If you don't get it, maybe you'll have trouble understanding the whole

Em Seoul, duas histórias se encontram. Primeiro, um jovem om tendências suicidas reencontra uma antiga paixão da época do colégio e os decidem cometer suicídio juntos. Na outra história, um jovem diretor, perdido na vida, encontra na rua a atriz que participou de um filme que acabou de assistir e passa a segui-la. O ponto de ligação das duas histórias são os personagens interpretados pela atriz Uhm Ji-won. Em uma história, é a paixão do jovem suicida, na outra história, a atriz que fez o filme que conta a primeira história. Esta ligação é feito de maneira bastante sutil, pois a mudança entre as histórias é abrupta, através de um cartaz no cinema onde o diretor, personagem da segunda história, vai assisti-lo. Ficamos sabendo que o diretor do filme é amigo de faculdade do diretor e que ele está internado em um hospital. Os amigos resolvem fazer uma vaquinha para cobrir os gastos do hospital. Os dois personagens principais das histórias, o jovem suicida e o diretor, não atraem a simpatia do público, tendo atitudes estranhas. Mais para frente, vamos descobrir que estes personagens tem mais a ver do que achávamos. Sinto que a proposta não foi totalmente atingida nesse filme, pois poderia brincar mais com essa metalinguagem entre as duas histórias e, mesmo a atitude de stalker do diretor da segunda história, não tem um bom tratamento por parte do roteiro.

This is a bizarre film, with 2 interconnecting stories. I'm not entirely sure I follow quite how it portrays the supposed tale of cinema, even though one of the stories involves a famous film maker. It's a quirky watch with some good characters and a thoughtful feel to it but it didn't particularly appeal to me. This is quite a subtle Japanese film, one which you may enjoy, depending on what your keen on or hoping for. I wouldn't actively recommend it as such though, no.

[color=white]I saw [i]Tale of Cinema[/i] on the last day of the festival when they replay all of the films that were In Competition. Seen at the Bazin Theatre in the Palais. In Competition for the Palme d'Or. [/color]
[color=#ffffff][/color]
[color=#ffffff]I really have nothing good to say. Lots of people walked out, but I stuck through it. [/color]
[color=#ffffff][/color]
[color=#ffffff]I honestly couldn't tell you what it was about. I can't even describe the plot in anyway because I have no clue what it was supposed to be about or what happened. The characters switched halfway through, suddenly there were all new characters for no discernable reason. The only way I can describe the film is a student film with slightly better lighting. the performances were bad, there was no plot, the cinematography was unimpressive. I can't believe this was actually chosen to be in competition. [/color]

I love the hate that Hong Sang-soo's movie elicit in people who can't just admit they are simple minded entertainment seeking non-thinkers. But not as much as I love watching his movies. This one is a favorite of mine. Complex and interesting and eminently re-watch-able. Some of the best acting and film making being done today. I feel like people not liking his movies is like people going into an art museum and getting mad at the paintings for not being exciting enough. Art isn't entertainment. Empty, flat, and boring are not useful descriptions of bad art they are descriptions of boring entertainment.
