1h 17m
Directed by Hong Sangsoo | 77 mins | 2020
Hong mines wisdom and wit out of a deftly presented and deceptively simple scenario: a young woman’s visits to three of her friends while her husband’s away. In insightful, unpredictable conversations with people at different points in their lives, Gamhee (Kim Minhee, Hong’s multitalented collaborator) gets closer to understanding who she truly wants to be. Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival.
