If you loved El hotel a orillas del río, try El día que un cerdo cayó al pozo
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Hong Sang-soo, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El hotel a orillas del río, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El día que un cerdo cayó al pozo is
A bourgeois marital crack-up meets a novelist’s slippery moral arithmetic. A dissatisfied wife, her husband, her lover, and his other lover orbit Seoul with drinks, lies, and near-misses. Hong Sang-soo lays out mating rituals like a deadpan taxonomist, circa mid-90s Korea.
