Yourself And Yours(HKAFF 2016)

Hong Sang-soo’s 18th feature film adds an element of mystique into the indie auteur’s ongoing rumination on the human condition. As always, Yourself and Yours takes the familiar yet distinctive form of a wryly funny, alcohol-infused comedy-drama about a frustrated artist desperately pining and erring over a woman he doesn’t understand. Painter Young-soo confronts his girlfriend Min-jung over hearsay that she drank and fought with another man. The two argue and Min-jung proposes breaking things off. The next day, Young-soo tries to find her. Meanwhile, all around town, women who look like Min-jung meet up with different men.
