When a film director screams he cannot write a single word for his next project, a coffee shop waitress promises a good story if she’s paid the night. One day she knocked the wrong door when Romance JOE was committing suicide. There the waitress got to know about his first love in high school. Finally Romance JOE decides to live again and visits his hometown to retrace his memories.

Romance Joe-
This is, in a way, a comprehensive anti-narrative film. The storylines are monumentally complex. Although the director was assistant director to Hong Sang-soo on [Tale of Cinema] and [Hahaha], his work seems even more disjointed, even more abstract, than his teacher’s. But still the director asks, “Why do we need a story? What would happen if there were no story?” Is this dissolution or experimentation of narrative? It is severe irony.
Befitting to a former assistant director to Hong Sang-soo, traces of Hong Sang-soo can be found throughout the film. The fact that this is also a meta-film about filmmaking about a once famous film director is also one of them. What’s more, the same actors appear in other episodes with no restrictions. The actor who plays the director looks just like Kim Sang-kyung. He has a similar image but the color and the tone of his voice are almost identical to those of Kim. The various episodes are independent yet have small or major connections. The mischievous way in which he intentionally reminds the viewer about our realities is also just like Hong Sang-soo. Even so, the film doesn’t really come across like ‘an imitation of Hong Sang-soo’. How on earth is that possible? (JEON Chanil)
