Oh! Soo-jung Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors [videorecording] = Virgin Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors Sang-soo Hong - South Korea Mirashin Korea 2000 - 1 videodisc (ca. 126 min.) sound, b&w. 4 3/4 in.



From case cover:
In this cryptic romance directed by acclaimed Korean director Hong Sang-Soo, a love triangle-like relationship between a filmmaker, his enigmatic young female assistant, and his friend is told twice, with the second version retelling their affair in a different light. Shot in grainy lack and white, VIRGIN STRIPPED BARE BY HER BACHELORS is a raw, unflinching look at our search for companionship and how our innocence is lost over time.

From IMDb:
A young man arrives at a hotel for an assignation; she calls to say she's not coming. He is Jae-hoon, she is Soo-jung; they've met through Young-soo, an independent filmmaker. Soo-jung writes for Young-soo; Jae-hoon may finance his film project. From varying points of view in two long parallel flashbacks, we see what precedes the hotel date. Details differ, and each account includes events missing from the other. Characters are quiet and self-contained, then animated; victims apologize. Each character frequently asks, "Really?" What has really happened? Is one account more accurate? Is a kiss the most enjoyable and promising human contact? Connections are tenuous and fragile.
