NOTES

Title from title frames

A trio of friends venture to the rocky shores of a large island to shoot a film together. The director, Seong-mo (Shin Seok-ho), recently gave up acting and has decided to make a film with his own money. His former classmate, Sang-guk (Ha Seong-guk), will operate the camera and Nam-hee (Kim Seung-yun) will act in it. The only problem: Seong-mo hasn’t decided what to make. His most overtly experimental work to date, in water reveals Hong at the height of his allusory powers. The story is simple: three friends set out to make a film, and then they do it. But with bold formal choices, including intentional soft focus effects, and his signature impulse toward the uncanny, Hong evokes infinite mysteries and hints at whole worlds lurking below the surface of everyday reality
