Famed Korean actress Moon So-ri goes behind the camera in a triptych of stories playing herself as a middle-aged actress, applying a realist, low-key approach to an inherently ‘meta’ premise to slightly surreal effect. The comparison is earned and transcended in the film’s funny and poignant execution, using the daily drama of a stress-ridden film star and mother as the platform for a beguiling contemplation of art, aging, alienation and the fleeting moments of emotional intimacy that justify the drudgery of life.
