Synopsis
Hong’s longtime collaborator Kim Min-Hee stars again as the protagonist in this trifurcated film. She plays Gam Hee, who, on the rare occasion of her husband’s absence, visits two friends and bumps into a third. Mundane, meandering conversations between women—and the occasional men—play out in long takes with precise performances, yielding complex character studies. Through these interactions, Gam Hee’s perception of the world and herself is subtly altered.
Resuming his characteristically unassuming yet self- reflexive directorial style, Hong once again transforms the quotidian into insightful observations about people and their relationships with seemingly effortless ease.
