“Promise me you won’t make a film about me,” Gosun (Go Hyun-jung) implores director Ku (Kim Tae-woo) as the ill-fated lovers, after a tumultuous few days spent on Jeju Island, amiably part ways in the epilogue of Hong Sangsoo’s ninth feature, his second to be shot digitally. Like You Know It All adopts an episodic tale-of-two-halves structure in narrating the psychosexual encounters of a celebrated yet insolvent arthouse filmmaker—a half-fabricated depiction of Hong himself—as he transitions from jury duty at the Jecheon International Music and Film Festival to delivering university lectures on Jeju. In the process, Ku snores his way through at least two screenings, interferes in the same number of fragile marriages and ultimately reheats a doomed-to-fail college romance until it all disintegrates on a sandy summer beach at sunset. Like Woman on the Beach and Night and Day that immediately preceded it, Like You Know It All sees Hong at his most elliptic and amorphous, omitting key morsels of information and counting on the spectator to dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Yet the film, in comparison to earlier Hong campaigns, is also consistently (and effortlessly) hilarious, taking stabs not only at the cult of infallible artistic genius, but also at the absurdity of artistic creation itself.
