Tale of Cinema

In the fourth title of our Decadent Editions series, Dennis Lim explores the oeuvre of South Korean auteur Hong Sangsoo via his 2005 film.

- - 

The Decadent Editions is a series of ten books about ten films, one for every year of the 2000s.

Each a deep dive into a single film, the ten book-length essays shift attention away from entrenched classics and the churn of mainstream releases, spotlighting milestones of contemporary cinema. These idiosyncratic studies, by some of today’s most compelling cultural critics, are ambitious and insightful, yet playful and inviting.

Together they offer an eclectic view of cinema in the first ten years of the new millennium – a decade now ripe for reappraisal.
