Of course not
Narrative
A French woman drinks makgeolli in Korea after losing her income, then teaches French to two Korean women. Hong Sang-soo has finally made an action movie. This is more of the same from Hong, to the point where it blends into all of his other films that fight for distinction. Even the fact that Isabelle Huppert stars in this is her third collaboration with the director, which is not my favorite of his works, has no unique value, the premise comes from an interesting place. Iris (Huppert) is a French woman living in Seoul, seemingly an excellent French teacher, although she teaches her classes largely in English.
Koreans seem to only learn certain basic phrases when they learn English
But when she enters her second lesson with Won-ju (Lee Hye-young) and her observant husband Hae-soon (Kwon Hae-hyo), we learn that she is a complete novice, trying out teaching while spending her days wandering around skeptically, but they stick to the lesson nonetheless. Talking and drinking (as Hong does), we repeat in English the conversation she had with her former student. Iris wants people to express themselves more, which is why most of Hong’s films rely on this. Iris encourages her students to open up more and more; to dig a little deeper until they find what they really want to express. A quick translation into French is done, and the student is given the note to study in an unusual way.
But the film goes beyond that
This way, they can express themselves better in French than any vocabulary textbook can teach them. Along the way, Iris comes across some Korean poetry, which is quickly translated for her, further reinforcing the idea that you can learn more about a culture from a short text rather than a full vocabulary. This idea, while key, might not sustain a film on its own. While Hong’s films may never fully satisfy, they offer enjoyment. As always, it’s a long argument before the argument is made.
This also weakens Iris
Iris lives with a younger Korean poet, In-guk (Ha Seong-guk). Her mother visits him awkwardly, and Iris is in need. What follows is a fairly typical parent-child argument about the concerns of an unconventional relationship. While perfectly serviceable, it may not have the charm of Hong’s dialogue. role.
In fact, this knowledge can limit us to general platitudes
Similarly in "In Another Country" (2012), Huppert comes across as charming, awkward, and vulgar at the same time, to the point where you don’t know how to take it. The final half hour thus confounds what had been a well-crafted piece about the nature of travel, translation, and expression. As a traveler, it’s more important to keep an open mind.Politic1983.home.blog.
