Right Now, Wrong Then
A deliciously intricate comedy of manners that exposes the fissures in male-female relationships and in cinema itself.
Quite by mistake, art-film director Chunsu arrives in Suwon a day early. With time to kill before his lecture the next day, Chunsu stops by a restored, old palace and meets a fledgling artist, Yoon Heejung. She's never seen any of his films, but knows he's famous. They talk. And together, they go to Heejung's workshop to look at her paintings, have Sushi and Soju.
Their romantically-charged chance meeting continues all the way to a brilliant and achingly funny end point, at which time... we begin again. But now some things appear different...
Winner of the Golden Leopard and Best Actor (Jung Jae-young) at the Locarno International Film Festival.
