Hotel by the River

(2019)Directed by Hong Sang-soo96 minDrama

An old poet, Younghwan (Ki Joo-bong), is convinced his death is close, and he asks his two estranged sons to come and see him at the hotel where he is staying. Two women are also staying there, and he crosses paths with them, including Yeonju (Song Seon-mi), as he waits. Hong Sang-soo shoots it in black and white, in long, still takes that let the conversations run on without help.
