A story of time and space

In 2014, the eighth film "In a Foreign Land", the work of South Korean director Hong Shangxiu.

I thought it was boring, but I slowly looked into it...
The same place ,
the same hotel ,
the same beach,
the same French woman ,
the same male lifeguard ,
the same blue umbrella ,
the same fork in the road,
but told three different stories.

I don't want to try to figure out the director's intentions for the story. Just looking at the three stories themselves, the thoughts of men and women are clear at a glance. The confused eyes of the "director" and the flattering tone of the lifeguard all hope that women can throw their dreams into their arms. real!

The three stories seem to have nothing to do with each other. Are there too many deliberate traces left in the careful threading, the hidden umbrella, the shattered soju bottle on the beach, and the lighthouse you have been looking for? ! ...Hey, how excited are you to hide details in the movie! ! So naughty! !

    The same actor plays three different stories. Although this technique is a selling point, it feels a little tired of being played by other foreign directors. Xiaoqing is not like Xiaoqing, and the stories told are very light and not too attractive. Hong Shangxiu thinks What the hell are you playing? Even the direction of Kitamura is not as good as = =

    For a director who can make "Oak Hee's Movie", it's too childish to make such a thing. Why is pushing the camera so obsessed? Is it an alienation effect?
