Hong Sang-soo to Begin Filming Nuit et jour (Night and Day) in August

Hong Sang-soo, in Paris last September for the casting of his next film, will return this fall to shoot Nuit et jour (Night and Day), but it will no longer be in French. The dramatic comedy is about a debt-ridden painter who must flee Seoul for Paris, leaving his wife behind. This being a Hong Sang-soo film, it comes as no surprise that the artist soon finds himself romantically involved with a young Korean student. The lead actors, known mostly for their work in television, include Kim Young-ho, who has had small roles in films, including My Wife is a Gangster. The French-Korean co-production, to be filmed mostly in Korean, will be released in early 2008.
