A TRAVELER’S NEEDS

Iris (Isabelle Huppert), a woman who finds herself adrift in Seoul and without any means to make ends meet, turns to teaching French, albeit via a very peculiar method. As she navigates a series of encounters, details of Iris’ situation slowly emerge—but the mysteries surrounding her only deepen. Acclaimed Korean filmmaker Hong Sang-soo’s latest film premiered at the 29th Busan International Film Festival. This is his third collaboration with Huppert, following 2012’s In Another Country and 2017’s Claire’s Camera.
