Summary: Hong uses his given time wisely: Lost in the Mountains is like a condensed version of a two-hour Hong movie with just as many emotional peaks and public humiliations. It's fun to watch as our lead character emotionally bulldozes around her surroundings. It also has a very uncharacteristic, hilarious and resolute ending for a Hong movie. Lost in the Mountains offers everything that the Korean auteur is known for and more in much shorter time.
