WALK UP
In Hong Sangsoo’s haunting and deeply personal 28th feature, the director returns to an interest in structure that has been a defining characteristic of his work from the beginning. And this time the structure is a literal one. As a film director explores the floors of an apartment building, he encounters different people and periods of time, exploring art, love, career, religion, dietary decisions and home renovations.
SYNOPSIS
In his ninth film for Hong Sangsoo, Kwon Haehyo plays Byungsoo, a film director who goes with his daughter Jeongsu (Park Miso), an aspiring interior designer, to a building owned by an old friend (Lee Hyeyoung) already established in the design field. She gives them a tour of the property, which includes a restaurant and cooking studio on the first two floors, her office in the basement, a residence on the third floor and an artist’s studio at the top. The three of them amicably chat the day away. But when his daughter leaves to get more wine, Byungsoo is left to spend time with the landlord and the other residents of her building. With WALK UP, Hong Sangsoo returns to an interest in structure that has been a defining characteristic of his work from the beginning. And this time the structure is a literal one. As Byunsgoo makes his way up the floors of the building, Hong fills these spaces with a profusion of everyday details spanning art, love, career, religion, dietary decisions and home renovations.

REVIEWS
“Walk Up flows as absorbingly as a dream and is no less pleasurable to puzzle over afterward.”
“Like many great artists, Hong appears in some ways to be trying to tell the same story over and over, each new film an attempt to solve the same essential riddle about what makes us tick. Just as well.”
“Rarely is professional, romantic, familial, creative and existential angst delivered with such a light heart.”
