    Not much meat to the trailer, but I adored it. Can't wait.

    Gee, I wonder if it might be meta.

    Trailer is certainly more interesting than most of Hong's actual movies.

    I didn't care for Night and Day (to put it mildy) or Like You Know it All (some parts were funny), but Hahaha completely won me over, and I can't wait to see it again.
    Just because...
    The Fabelmans (Steven Spielberg, 2022) mild
    Petite maman (Céline Sciamma, 2021) mild
    The Banshees of Inisherin (Martin McDonagh, 2022) mild

    I think you're just getting more acquainted with his thang. Check out Turning Gate.

    To some extent maybe, but I think Hahaha also happens to be a more interesting movie for its self-conscious approach to narration.

    Awesome trailer from Hong; I'd love to see this kind of experimentation with time actually explored in the film, too.

    I'm hoping Hahaha gets a release here in Chicago soon.
