Korean filmmaker Hong Sang-soo's latest lo-fi comedy examines the intricacies of urban life and relationships among the educated middle class. The film follows Jeonim, a junior college professor, tasked with managing a theater project after the initial director was fired for inappropriate conduct. Navigating her professional and personal challenges, Jeonim faces turmoil when her charismatic uncle starts dating her colleague. With a minimalistic approach, featuring real-time dialogues and static camerawork, the film highlights emotional complexities through seemingly mundane interactions, reminiscent of a conceptually cohesive saga of urban existence.
Hong Sang-soo's latest film represents a continuation of his exploration of urban life through a semi-improvised lens, specifically highlighting the complexities within interpersonal relationships.
In his trademark style, Hong constructs real-time dialogue scenes that reflect the emotional states of characters while showcasing the everyday life of Korea's educated middle class.
