Winner of the Best Director Silver Bear at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, Korean master Hong Sangsoo’s delightfully droll new comedic-drama features his usual lead actress, Kim Minhee, in a tripartite tale that has Kim’s Gamhee separately visiting with three female friends in Seoul while her husband, who hasn’t left her side in their five years of marriage, is away on business. Each visit—two of them arranged, one by chance—is interrupted by a decidedly annoying male. Out of this simple premise, Hong fashions a layered, perceptive, and funny account of intelligent women and the frequently ridiculous behaviour they must put up with from the men in their lives…

‘A sprightly, straight-up triple-slice of Hong Sangsoo life… Three distant mountains; three chatty encounters between long-acquainted women; three comically tiresome intrusions from self-important men shot only from behind. Prolific South Korean arthouse staple Hong Sangsoo has dealt in playful, internally rhyming triplicate before, but never with such a gently sardonic female focus, and seldom as straightforwardly as in his airy, charming [The Woman Who Ran]…’—Jessica Kiang, Variety

 

In dit amusante, nieuwe komische drama van de Koreaanse meester Hong Sangsoo zien we zijn gebruikelijke hoofdrolspeelster, Kim Minhee, in een drieluik waarin Gamhee afzonderlijk drie vriendinnen in Seoul bezoekt. Terwijl haar man, die tijdens hun vijfjarige huwelijk niet van haar zijde is geweken, weg is voor zaken. Elk bezoek—twee gepland, één per toevalwordt verstoord door een uitgesproken irritante man. Vanuit dit simpele uitgangspunt vertelt Hong een gelaagd, scherpzinnig en grappig verhaal over intelligente vrouwen en het vaak idiote gedrag van de mannen in hun leven waarmee ze te maken hebben…

The Woman Who Ran charmeert van begin tot eind en doet denken aan de heerlijke, kietelende bries in de alledaagse verhalen van Éric Rohmer… Het is betoverend om tijd door te brengen in deze sfeer van kameraadschap en vriendschap tussen vrouwen.’—Sophie Monks Kaufman, Little White Lies
