the prolific and formidable Korean filmmaker HONG SANG-SOO

(On the Beach At Night Alone)

I think there is a film that he wrote and directed in which a woman says that she has had an abortion X times for the male protagonist. Why does the expression of affection (platonic or not) among Koreans seem so unnatural to me (horrible awful stereotype) and why is this comment made so casually in this film (as an indication of what)?

If I only have time to watch one of the two about to leave MUBI, those being VIRGIN STRIPPED BARE BY HER BACHELORS and THE POWER OF KANGWON PROVINCE, which is preferable?

The Power of Kangwon Province

Yes. Kangwon Province by a mile.

Just saw In Front of Your Face, my first foray into this guys work. It sure helps to be a Rohmer fan.
