The Day After
Dreamed Paths: The Films of Angela Schanelec
February 7 - 13, 2020
Lee Suk-gyeong’s feature debut, following a middle-aged writer in crisis who befriends a woman whose life story sounds eerily familiar, is a casual yet emotionally profound work on the social roles we play that prevent us from being ourselves.
Middle-aged writer Bo-young finds herself in crisis: she’s creatively blocked; her ex-husband has remarried; and her daughter is the only one who’s around to provide her something resembling emotional support. She makes for the provinces to attend a weekend workshop, and while there meets another woman whose life story sounds eerily familiar. The two spend the night in a hotel room drinking, smoking, and talking, finally giving voice to their repressed desires, their disappointments, and anecdotes they’ve never shared with anyone else. Lee Suk-gyeong’s feature debut is a casual yet emotionally profound work on the social roles we play that prevent us from being ourselves.
