Secret project with Isabelle Huppert participation
Director Hong Sang Soo last year won the main prize of the program "Un Certain Regard" at Cannes for the melodrama "Hahaha." This year, on the Croisette could be seen his new movie "The day when he came." Soon Hong Sang Soo will begin shooting new film, starring French woman Isabelle Huppert.
The film production is in full swing, but even Madame Huppert does not know what this picture is.
"I’ve agreed to shoot from him, because I love his movies – said the actress. - I know about the project only that the action develops in a small town three hours drive from Seoul, and there are five main characters. "
Hong Sang Soo, which in Europe is called the Korean Eric Romero, can be considered under the microscope the relationship of characters of his films. He is particularly good at films about filmmakers who shoot films ("Film Oka"), or the directors, who can not remove anything ("Woman on the Beach," "As if you know all this.")
"Hahaha" - the story of how two friends tell each other about their recent travels, unaware that they were in the same city and met with the same girl.
The hero of the movie "The Day when he came" - a young Korean director who arrives in a couple days in Seoul, met old friends, gets in bed with a former mistress and a lot of drinking.
It seems that Yu Jung-Sun, starring in the two films will appear in a new picture of Sang Soo.
Isabelle Huppert has worked with Asian cinema - actress recently finished shooting the drama "Captured" from Philippine filmmaker Dante Mendoza.
