The South Korean director Hong Sang-soo works quickly and modestly, but the domestic scenes he constructs are packed with conversational density and intrigue.
Hong Sang-soo’s ability to transform the ordinary into something reaching toward ecstasy makes him one of the most exhilarating filmmakers working today. In his 30th feature, the prolific South Korean director revisits familiar themes and narrative frameworks to continue examining the questions that are central to his work. What is the meaning of life? How does one pursue a pure artistic vision? The film follows two seemingly unrelated storylines.
A paragon of purity , Woori reflects the desires of the protagonists and the auteur himself. When Sangwon introduces the cat to her cousin, it sounds like she’s talking about herself: “Isn’t he pretty? This is us.” Even the title of the film can be read as both “In Our Day” or “Woori’s Day.” Whose day are we watching unfold, exactly? Is it the cat’s, the poet’s or Hong’s? Jung-soo worries that the cat eats too much. But Sangwon is more sanguine.
