Audience Member The plot setup is reminiscent of any other Hong film, with the asshole/pitiful male characters, often artists themselves becoming involved with relationships with several women to assuage their own needs and inadequacies. The structure is similar to that of Woman on the Beach, with the male character being chased in the first half to becoming the chaser in the 2nd. Even though the guy here is still an asshole I found him more sympathetic than that of Virgin. It helps that this is one of his funniest and more poignant films. I don't get why Hong uses those zooms in his later films since the aesthetic here serves the purpose perfectly. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
