I'm beginning to think of as S. Korea's answer to Eric Rohmer, Hong Sangsoo.
"Woman is the Future of Man" is a film whose scenes continue to reoccur in your mind days and weeks after you've seen it.
Two friends meet to reminisce one afternoon and, after many glasses of rice wine, decide to look up a woman they both had interest in years ago. As this escapade unfolds, we flashback to scenes of the former relationship, searching for clues to the events which become more and more intense. Superb acting and intelligent, complex, and powerful story-telling leave little doubt that Korea is unmatched for action and drama, it also needn't accept second-billing for insights into human emotions.
Martin Scorsese introduces the film and agrees with me about the quality, the copy-cat!
