We announced not too long ago that Hong Sang-soo's sixth film, A Tale of the Cinema, was added to the lineup at the Cannes Film Festival one week before it began. This is Hong's fourth film to go to Cannes and his second to be entered into the competition category.
It's a comedy done in the style of a movie within a movie telling the story of an aspiring film director [Kim Sang-kyung] who runs into a young woman [Uhm Ji-won] as he leaves a movie theater and realizes that she's the star of the film he just watched - Digital Chosun
Digital Chosun recently interviewed the Korean director and it is an interesting read touching on the films invitation to Cannes, the reception of his films in years past, and heavy drinking.
