Bamui haebyun-eoseo honja On the Beach at Night Alone [videorecording]= Sang-soo Hong - Jeonwonsa Film The Cinema Guild Finecut The Criterion Channel 2017 - 1 videodisc (101 min.) sound, color. 4 3/4 in.
After an affair with a married man, actress Younghee decides to take some time out. She travels to the far-off, city of Hamburg. In a conversation with a friend she asks herself if her lover will follow her and whether he misses her as much as she misses him. During her long walks through wintry parks and along riverbanks, she attempts to make clear of this illicit relationship with the director. (imdb) Art imitates life in this quietly devastating masterpiece from Hong Sangsoo. Kim Minhee (Then Handmaiden, Claire's Camera) - in the role that won her the Silver Bear for best actress in Berlin - plays Younghee, an actress reeling in the aftermath of an affair with a married film director. Younghee visits Hamburg then returns to Korea, but as she meets her friends and has her fair share to drinks, increasingly startling confessions emerge.
No stranger to mining his own experience for his films, Hong, whose real-life affair with Kim stirred up a media frenzy in Korea, here cinfrints his personal life with a newfound emotional directness. With an incredibly raw and vulnerable performance from Kim at its center, On the Beach at Night Alone is one of the most dynamic collaborations between director and performers in comtemporary cinema.
