As in many a Hong Sang-soo film, a director meets a pretty young artist. There are drinks, unseemly interactions, and inevitably more drinks. But in its depiction, once again a marvel of cinematic structure, the narrative fissures into any number of other possibilities, revealing a comical game of what-ifs and switched perspectives as delirious and puzzling as the romantic encounter itself. ?Brian Hu

Official Selection, 2016 International Film Festival Rotterdam
Like in so many recent Hong Sang-soo films, an overconfident male director cruises his way around a young ing?nue. She?s smarter than we think or he hopes, though her decisions to drink with and tempt him build a mystery worthy of the film?s mirror-game structure. Hong Sang-soo is a genius of deja-vu, and with the splendidly-titled RIGHT NOW, WRONG THEN, drinks to all the comic permutations of what-ifs, switched perspectives, and unruly, mistimed romantic encounters. ?Brian Hu
