**Déjà vu: A Hong Sangsoo Double Bill**

**Tale of Cinema** & **Nobody's Daughter Haewon** (2005/2013)

Los Angeles launch of Dennis Lim's new book on Hong Sangsoo! Dennis Lim in person!

+

Hong Sangsoo is one of world cinema's most distinguished and prolific filmmakers. His sixth feature, **Tale of Cinema**, uses a multilayered film-within-a-film to tell two stories: that of a depressive young man who forms a suicide pact with a friend and that of a filmmaker who sees a film he believes was based on his life, and who meets its lead actress in a collision of fantasy and reality.

In **Nobody's Daughter Haewon**, a chamber piece at once eloquently simple and deceptively complex, a young film student named Haewon (Jeong Eun-chae) finds herself at loose ends when her mother moves to Canada. She clings to her married lover, a filmmaker/professor (Lee Sun-kyun), and is bowled over by the insights of another professor (Kim Eui-seong) visiting from San Diego. Meanwhile, she struggles to find her own way and her own identity as we all do when we’re young: a little bit at a time, encounter by encounter, experience by experience, in reality and in dreams.

Acropolis presents a special double bill of two rarely screened Hong features on occasion of Dennis Lim's monograph on the film—part of Fireflies Press’s Decadent Editions, which cover essential works of world cinema from the first decade of the 2000s. Copies of the book **TALE OF CINEMA**, including a limited number signed by Lim, will be available to purchase after the screening. Lim will participate in a discussion of Hong's career between the two screenings.

In person: Dennis Lim!

(Note: There are two ticket types for sale at different price points. One is a flex ticket to a single screening at $12. The $20 ticket grants admission to both films and the Dennis Lim segment.)
