NOTES

Title from title frames

A director’s mistaken early arrival to a small-time film festival sets into motion a chain of misunderstandings whose tragicomic reverberations Hong extends and ponders through a daring gambit by repeating the story, with slight differences, a second time. The diptych vision of RIGHT NOW, WRONG THEN lends a rich polyvalence to the encounter between the filmmaker and a struggling young artist, inventing composite characters whose charm and flaws are ultimately revealed to be two sides of the same coin. A meditation on (mis)communication and empathy, Hong’s celebrated masterpiece gives the viewer a refreshing new agency by inviting us to decide which is the ethically, logically “right” story and asking us to understand the meaning of this judgment
