"THE DAY HE ARRIVES"
on DVD NOVEMBER 6, 2012
New York, NY - The Cinema Guild will release "THE DAY HE ARRIVES" from master filmmaker Hong Sangsoo on DVD November 6, 2012. Prebook is October 2.
Synopsis
A film director who no longer makes films, Seongjun, arrives in Seoul to meet a close friend. When the friend doesn't show up, Seongjun wanders the city aimlessly. He runs into an actress he used to know, shares a drink with some film students and against his better judgment, heads to his ex-girlfriend's apartment. The next day goes very much like the last; Seongjun meets the actress, has drinks with friends, and falls for woman who looks remarkably like his ex-girlfriend. Each new day plays out like a copy of the previous one, but only Seongjun knows why.
Infused with a playfulness and dry wit that recalls the films of Woody Allen and Eric Rohmer, The Day He Arrives is a delightful meditation on relationships, filmmaking, and the unknowable forces that govern our lives.
