Hank's High Points - Hong Sang-soo seems to reach a little conclusion about his own self-tormenting question on love, or male-female relationship. - Go Hyun-jeong proves her potential. Synopsis Film director, Joong-rae, is preparing for his next movie but is unable to finish his script. So he pleads his friend, Chang-wook, a production designer, to go with him on a trip even though Chang-wook had already made plans with his girlfriend, Moon-sook, a composer. Eventually Chang-wook brings his girlfriend along and they all go on a trip to the west coast to visit Shinduri Beach Resort, which is covered with cherry blossoms and a flowing mist. There, Joong-rae makes advances on Chang-wook's girlfriend, Moon-sook. Already a fan of his films, Moon-sook doesn't hide her interest. So later, while avoiding Chang-wook's eyes, the two spend a heated night together. But the next day Joong-rae's face is filled with anxiety as he proposes to go back to Seoul. He and Moon-sook then part awkwardly. Two days later, Joong-rae is back again in Shinduri. He tries to let Moon-sook know that he is back in Shinduri but he is unable to reach her and leaves the message. Then, he runs into a young woman named Sun-hee. Telling her that she resembles a woman that he's thinking of as a character in the film, Joong-rae approaches Sun-hee for an interview. They, too, end up spending a night together. Moon-sook arrives at the scene with the intent to be with Joong-rae. But seeing him being with Sun-hee, Moon-sook goes to drink on her own out of anger... - Korean Film Archive From SEOUL Magazine Hong Sang-soo---perhaps no Korean director examines the intricacies and uncomfortable truths of the human heart in a more uncompromising fashion. His films often focus on the banality of human existence and the inability of people---men and women in particular---to truly communicate. Hong's universe is populated by people who talk with one another without truly communicating. This is one reason why many viewers find his film's difficult to watch, despite the obvious talent of the director. "Woman on the Beach," however, is much more approachable. Hong's latest film explores many of the themes looked at in his previous films, especially the tortured and ultimately insecure male psyche, but in a fashion that is much easier to watch. The witty dialogue is expertly crafted, and you couldn't ask for better performances from veteran actor Kim Seung-u, former TV starlet Go Hyeon-jeong, and actress Song Seon-mi. The beautiful Go, in particular, turns in a memorable performance as the strong-willed but vulnerable Moon-sook. This is Go's big-screen debut, the actress having made her professional comeback last year following a much publicized divorce. Also playing a major role is the gray, somewhat deserted West Sea resort where the action takes place, a perfect location that's both beautiful and lonely. It supports the plot perfectly without distracting attention from the matter at hand.
