Sátántangó (Satan's Tango) (1994, Unrated)
Somewhat uneven. The tango-like structure and extremely long dead time are pretty awesome in showing the futile inertia of the community. However whenever some douche in the film opens their mouth it becomes laughable. It's very effective in carving out large chunks of time, which is really above all what the film is about. I'm not sure what the scene near the end featuring the writers discussing the characters was for. I thought I had seen enough rain in this film to last a season, but I left the theater only see it was pouring outside (plus an ominous sound of bell towing). |

Turning Gate (2002, Unrated)
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. |
