Synopsis

A film director who no longer makes films, Seongjun arrives in Seoul to meet a close friend. When the friend doesn’t show up, Seongjun wanders the city aimlessly for three days, grabbing drinks and meeting women, with each day playing out like a version of the last.

MUBI's take

South Korean auteur Hong Sang-soo presents a deceptively simple rumination on isolation and desire. With his typically receptive ear for remarkable conversations and luminous B&W cinematography, the inspiring director crafts pure cinema out of lonesome wanderings and astonishing chance encounters.
