Indefatigable South Korean one-man band Hong Sangsoo continues his idiosyncratic exploration of creativity, chance encounters, noodles, booze and small talk in his 27th feature.

planned, others spontaneous. At the center of almost all of them is the novelist of the title, Junhee , who laces the painfully polite small talk with the passive-aggressive darts of someone who feels she’s owed more validation than she gets.
