Everyone was surprised because no one expected it. The name ‘HONG Sang-soo’ had never been mentioned anywhere in the Korean film industry before. Until seeing the bizarre title The Day a Pig Fell into the Well, it only delivered some sense of difference. However, when the movie revealed its identity, people with a lot of insight into the movie started to get disconcerted first. Where on earth did this movie come from? What kind of creative process did it go through? The Day a Pig Fell into the Well, which captures the daily lives of two men and two women in a groundbreaking form, has become an unprecedented event that broke the ranks of Korean film history.
