Director Hong Sang-soo's trademark dry wit and powerful visual style are on full display in this sly head game of a movie. Divided into two parts, it follows an awkward relationship among a filmmaker, his friend, and a beautiful woman. The first half presents the story, and the second half retells it with significant details altered in mysterious ways. Recalling the elliptical, modernist works of Alain Resnais, the film, which draws its title from a Marcel Duchamp piece titled “The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors,” provides a bold yet humorous reflection on memory and perspective.
