‘What Does That Nature Say to You’ Review: Hong Sangsoo’s Untypically Hard Look At The Art Life Carries A Sting In Its Tail – Berlin Film Festival


‘What Does That Nature Say to You’ review: Hong Sangsoo unusually hard look at the art life carries a sting in its tail – Berlin Film Festival

Junhee’s family is well off — her father apparently owns the hill where the house sits — and there’s an echo of the class undertones in Hong’s A Traveler’s Needs, in which Kwon Haehyo played an affable, wealthy man with a fondness for music — and a wife who’s a bit skeptical of their visitor. (All offer examples of Hong’s facility with turning ordinary settings into subtle Chekhovian stages, and his production methods are as efficient as ever: the writer-director, and Berlinale regular, is also credited with cinematography, editing, music, sound design, and producing.) Title: What Does That Nature Say to You (Geu jayeoni nege mworago hani) Festival: Berlin (Competition) Director-screenwriter: Hong Sangsoo Cast: Ha Seongguk, Kwon Haehyo, Cho Yunhee, Kang Soyi, Park Miso Sales agent: Finecut Running time: 1 hr 48 mins
