Hong's thirty-fifth feature took Best Direction and Best Performance at Locarno, and Kim Min-hee carries it with the kind of unspoken family history that plays entirely across a face. A filmmaker travels from Seoul to Jeju to see a mother she has kept at arm's length, meets the new husband and his daughter, and Hong lets five mercurial people talk their way toward something.
What to expect
A 72-minute South Korean feature in Korean with English subtitles, screening as an NYFF64 Main Slate North American premiere. Quiet, conversational, largely built from long takes around tables — the Hong register. A Cinema Guild release, so a theatrical run should follow.

Common questions
Is there a second NYFF screening?
Yes, on Wednesday, October 7 at 8:45 PM, but the Saturday, September 26 12:30 PM show is the only one this weekend.
Do I need to know Hong's other films?
No. It stands alone, though regulars will recognize Kim Min-hee and Kwon Hae-hyo from his earlier work.
