Bonus goodie from 2012 that I just watched last night.
Hong Sang-soo is my new hero. His "In Another Country" is fantastic,
and it's definitely knocking a film out of my top 10 of 2012. It tells
three different stories with the same actors
in the same space. The shot compositions are similar throughout, which
is intended to make you recall the similar sequence in the previous
stories. The technique is used for subtle comedic effect. But that's not
the reason this is a comedy. Through the interactions between the
characters emerges a realistic kind of humor that is not typical of the
comedy genre. It's the kind of humor you would expect to find when
you're in another country and can't speak the language very well. I
don't really like all the zooming, but the viewer gets used to it
quickly. Check it out for yourself; it's newly available on Netlfix
Instant!
