A scene from director Hong Sang-soo’s latest film “Our Sunhi.” ( Fine Cut) |
Korean director Hong Sang-soo’s latest work has been invited to Locarno International Film Festival’s international competition section, the film’s local promoters said.
The film, titled “Our Sunhi,” tells the story of a young film student named Sun-hi (played by actress Jeong Yoo-mi) who is about to leave Korea to study overseas. Before moving abroad, she visits two of her ex-boyfriends (played by Lee Sun-kyun and Jung Jae-young) and her professor named Choi (played by Kim Sang-jung). “Our Sunhi” is Hong’s 15th film.
Hong is one of the best-known Korean filmmakers overseas, and many of his films have been featured at international film festivals. His 2010 film “Hahaha” won the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, and his 2012 drama film “In Another Country” competed for the Palme d’Or at the same festival last year.
