A new Im Sang-soo film is always something to look forward to but, like many others, I have been less keen on his most recent offerings. The plot details don't offer much for the moment, but at least it's a departure from the high society and moral debasement themes of his last two films. Also looking forward to seeing Ryoo Seung-bum back after a two year hiatus.
