At just 55, Hong Sang-soo<\/a> has already made 21 soju-soaked features. South Korea’s most prolific auteur is back at Cannes<\/a> with his two newest projects, “The Day After<\/a>” and “Claire’s Camera,” and took some time out of his busy schedule to explain his unconventional process to the Hollywood Reporter<\/a>: “I\u2019ve come to the point where I start with almost nothing,” he says.<\/span><\/p>\n

By “almost nothing,” Hong means that he no longer even bothers writing traditional screenplays. “As time went on, the treatments became shorter, to the point where I\u2019d start production with only a few pages of notes.” That’s one way to run a railroad.<\/span><\/p>\n

As for his actors \u2014 including Isabelle Huppert and Kim Min-hee \u2014 they have no more than half an hour to rehearse and “don’t have much time to memorize.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“I make use of the things that come to me while shooting as I incorporate them into an evolving whole,” he says. “I don\u2019t even know what I know about a given actor. And I don\u2019t try to organize or explain what I know. But on the day of shooting, the particular situation and the conditions of the film come together to create a kind of pressure. That pressure allows a few things among the many thoughts and feelings I have about this actor to come out. I write them down.” Read the full interview here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
