In Not Just Another Country: Isabelle Huppert Takes a Third Trip with Hong Sang-soo

After teaming on In Another Country (2012) and Claire’s Camera (2017) we’ve learned via a key internet sleuth that the two workhorses of actress Isabelle Huppert and Hong Sang-soo are teaming again for their third collaboration. Hong Sang-soo hit Berlinale and Cannes this year with In Water and In Our Day, while Huppert has a load of works that’ll pepper feature A-list fests with the next being Venice/TIFF. It’s next to impossible to keep tabs on the filmmaker but we’ll try our best.
