The Korea Society would like to invite you to...
A special screening of HaHaHa
The Museum of the Moving Image
Sunday, February 20
6:00PM
6:00PM
[115 min]
The Korea Society joins the newly renovated Museum of the Moving Image in presenting Hong Sang-soo's entertaining Hahaha, a deceptively light romantic comedy, which won the Un Certain Regard at Cannes 2010.
A filmmaker on the skids plans to move to Canada to meet a film-critic friend. During a drinking session, they decide to share memories of trips they took to the same seaside town.
This special screening will take place in the new 267-seat theater at the Museum of the Moving Image at 35th Avenue & 37th Street in Astoria.

FIY, Dir. Hong Sang Soo is one of my precious favorite Korean filmmakers, who is able to reveal the society where he is belonged to in a very interesting and very non-oriental way. In addition, HaHaHa is, I heard, called to one of his bests in Korea when it's released. If Korean film experiences to many of you guys are confined to Old Boys, and Kim Ki-Duk movies, I'm so sure that this will be a totally different experience.
