South Korean master Hong Sang-soo crafts yet another delightful, soju-saturated tale of love thwarted, in this story of a heartsick Japanese man who travels to Seoul to attempt a reunion with the woman he still pines for.

“Hill of Freedom” is directed by Hong Sang-soo. New York Film Festival 2014 begins on Sept 26. For more info, check out NYFF 2014.
