FILM SYNOPSIS
A novelist’s affinity with a younger actress leads to a film collaboration in this work of startling intimacy from Hong Sang-soo.
In her 60s, reputed novelist Jun-hee struggles to fulfil her creative impulses while facing writer’s block. During a chance encounter with the younger Kil-soo who is on an acting hiatus, their instant connection sparks a creative collaboration: Jun-hee proposes to make a film starring Kil-soo.
This spare, intimate autofiction finds Hong Sang-soo at his most personal yet. What starts out as a self-referential examination on artistic freedom and its simple yet sensual pleasures evolves into something far more unexpected: a manifesto on his inimitable style—and a love letter. With its startling sincerity, the film mines new emotional depths from Hong’s expansive oeuvre, revealing the power of his cinema.
