Smooth, practical and in some instances also insubstantial. While that might sound indifferent to what this story tells, the truth is that it's completely in sync with what we've come to know from a director like Hong Sang-soo. No tonal variation, but it's the classic battle that the arthouse genre often fights between what passes for entertainment and what seems intriguingly pretentious and we're either not getting it or perhaps we just think we do and thus its importance rests solely on us.

Unwittingly it is my very first film from the universally acclaimed South Korean auteur Sang-soo Hong, by virtue of Isabelle Huppert. But out of my heart, the film is frustratingly bland and ineptly flippant. All the setting is exclusively in a remote beach and a family hotel near sea side. After an informal conversation between a pair of mother and daughter, Park Soo (Yoon) and Wonju (Jeong), about their familial dispute. Then Wonju starts to write three short stories for her script, each centres a French woman named Anne (Huppert), respectively as a female director, an adulteress and a divorcée (conveniently dressed in blue, red and green), and Wonju becomes the hotelier. continue reading my review on my blog: google cinema omnivore, thanks

This is quite a charming low budget movie, with irritatingly funny dialogues and characters that let's you overlook the unimaginative photography. Acting and script are great, even if the stories don't really lead anywhere, they leave you with a feeling lighthearted enjoyment.
