S. Korea | 2020 | Hong Sang-soo

The 24th film in 24 years by prolific S. Korean master Hong Sang-soo is a female-centric, three-part comedy-drama in which a young florist (Hong’s current partner and muse Kim Min-hee) visits separately with three women friends while her husband is away on business—the first time they’ve been separated in five years of marriage. Though her three reunions—with a divorcee who now raises chickens, a pilates instructor, and a manager of an art house movie theater—are pretty talky and uneventful (usual with Hong), there’s more going on beneath the film’s placid surface than meets the eyes and ears. 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 77 min.
