Woman on the Beach
2006 · Movie · 127 min. · South Korea
A filmmaker, trying to complete a script, stumbles into relationships with two women during a stay at an off-season seaside resort. The affairs reveal the patterns of destructive behavior that define his romantic relationships—and generate material for the new film. Even for director Hong Sang-soo’s many admirers, his new film turns out to be an unexpected delight—the most sheerly enjoyable and satisfying film of his career. Even as Woman on the Beach brilliantly explores one of Hong’s enduring themes—the Korean male psyche in all its willfulness, anger and self-contempt—it brings its female characters to the forefront in a revelatory new way.
