Press
«Memory, desire and raw self-interest clash against one another with startling poignancy.»
New York Times
«An elegant jeu, played and constructed with an almost Gallic lightness.»
Variety
«Hong has a grace and stealth of his own, and his scenes tend to tilt in directions that few of us would dare to predict.»
The New Yorker
«The simple structure unassumingly encompasses a lifetime of disappointment and inescapable male foolishness. It's quite a rich, absorbing spectacle.»
