“In another world, there’s a Hong Sang-soo Cinematic Universe where a rabid fandom celebrates the one or two movies every year featuring a revolving door not of familiar superheroes but of poets, filmmakers, and actors, each of them contending with questions of life and love rather than planetary threats. Those elements — of artists in quotidian scenarios, drinking soju and smoking amid everyday conversation — are present in many of the small humanist gems that make up this South Korean auteur’s filmography, and the same goes for his latest, IN OUR DAY.”
—New York Times Critic’s Pick
With his 30th feature film, Hong Sang-soo demonstrates a new level of mastery of his art, using long, deceptively elaborate shots to articulate the simplest of pleasures: an inter-species encounter, the discovery of a new drink, a game of rock-paper-scissors. Kim and Ki lead an outstanding cast of the most natural of performers. IN OUR DAY is a film to drink of deeply, to share with friends, and, afterward, to reflect on what matters most.
