this film is a flat out blessing; cinema this potently personal, profound and parked on the edge of reality & the moving image. docufiction as fiction, and the tragedies of life seeping their way into the Projections of our Selves. the life becomes the screen and the screen, before us, which is part of All Lives, transports us into the lives & tough times of those willing to shed their skin, and stand Naked in honesty of the hurt they've caused. the love they've found, and the feeling of sinking your feet into the beach's sand during the evening, as you ponder the friendships; the relationships that Dissolved over time or, worse yet, popped like balloons suddenly swept so swiftly into the past -- best of friends dissipate into faceless silhouettes.

someone needs to tell Hong sang-soo that making a movie about an actress who had an affair with a married filmmaker with the actress you cheated on your wife with irl is a level of self indulgence to rival woody allen’s lmao..

Errado antes, errado agora. Nenhuma possibilidade alternativa além do silêncio constrangedor. Um presente de filme pro Sang-Soo (personagem) e pra Min-hee (não-personagem), por mais terrível que seja receber esse presente. Talvez uma das grandes obras já feitas sobre a sensação de querer sair no meio de uma festa pra não ter que falar com mais ninguém.

"It was the same thing every day. But it was peaceful."

what i love about hong sangsoo is that his films are like having conversations. each of them unique, inviting, revealing. On the Beach at Night Alone however goes deeper in that it feels like hong sangsoo is having a conversation with himself, his relationship to film and the actors that occupy them, and with us, creating a text that is frighteningly vulnerable. vulnerability of course isn't a new concept to his films, but the meticulous camerawork that i can always expect from him blurs the line (much like he did with Right Now, Wrong Then) between audience and director. it is a fascinating conversational type of filmmaking that will never not pull me in again and again.

Ahgassi

My first Hong Sang-soo film and it was delightful. Plays out soporifically as a dreamlike symphony of Schubert but not once loses touch of the apparent trademark soju realism (Hong is known for). The evening wind, the waves crashing in, faint hopes for a reconciliation and a self-reflexive confrontation, to re-encounter - even in dreams - an old wound despite knowing that it will never heal. Watching Kim Min-hee on the beach at night alone was like witnessing a piece of tracing paper slipping away in the wind, little by little until it is lost at sea.

i just love movies where kim min-hee talks to me about love, struggles and pain

Provavelmente o filme mais mórbido de um dos principais nomes do gênero de drama atualmente. Hang Song-Soo entrega uma abordagem desoladora sobre a história de uma mulher perseguida (literalmente) pela culpa de se relacionar com um homem casado. 

Uma culpa que está implícita em todos os aspectos da vida da protagonista e destrói o que está ao seu redor, quebra vínculos sociais e a isola, gerando uma reflexão importante: é saudável abrir mão da própria individualidade em nome de um romance?

Cheio de diálogos memoráveis, com uma narrativa dramática de tirar o fôlego, é provavelmente o filme que melhor define o carreira do diretor e expõe aquilo que todos deveriam conhecer: a genialidade do cinema sul coreano.

mhmm.

Humans really have a knack for making complicated messes out of sex & love...................not me tho. Y’all be easy

This film was ok. Somewhere between protentious and bland.

This is my secone Hong Sangsoo film and I'm still not sure what his films are about and if I really care enough to find out. The half self-depricating half self-indulgant way of constructing stories around slightly obsessive pathetic male film dirrectors is interesting but ti be hinest i dont really get what hes saying.

Kim Min-hee performance was quite good especailly in the scenes she gets drunk and lets loose. Maybe ill watch his films again as he's pretty acclaimed in the old film circles it would seem.

I just feel his films just slightly miss the mark from being interesting.

Experimentos sobre como vencer o CLIMÃO em nossas vidas

In what I believe is his most personal story yet, Hong Sang-soo continuously knows how to brilliantly capture the awkwardness and vulnerability in his characters simply through their conversations and actions. Plus, seeing Kim Min-hee ask for more pasta because she’s really hungry will always be the cutest thing.

I have been listening to Empty beach lately and this film feels like it.
I think I will be a bitter dunk too, cursing men and love.

human conversation is beautifully displayed here. much about nothing until it’s grippingly poignant. the zooms had me leo dicaprio pointing every time.

anyway, i’m ready to watch like 20 hong sang-soo movies now

La asociación entre el cine de Hong y el de Rohmer es muy común, más que nada por el interés compartido de filmar conversaciones y la preferencia por formas particulares del siempre impreciso "realismo". Pero las similitudes entre On the beach at night alone y Le rayon vert, en la construcción del personaje principal y en la relación de éste con el espacio que la circunda, son llamativas. Dicho esto, las resoluciones de ambas partes que componen esta película son de un misterio muy propio del coreano, y hasta diría que sólo se justifican en él.

Not sure if I understood everything the movie was trying to say but it was great at building this melancholic atmosphere

Few capture the authenticity of drunkenness like Hong does.
