Mimang (미망), dir. Kim Taeyang, South Korea 2023, 92 min., Korean with English subtitles
An unnamed Man (Ha Seong-guk) runs into an unnamed Woman (Lee Myung-ha) who is an old college acquaintance, and they walk briefly together in the rain through a part of Seoul in which he is unfamiliar, reminiscing about time and change. An immense statue of Admiral Yi anchors the pair’s amble through an ever evolving city. Although the statue is scheduled to be moved, and is subject to contradictory, uncertain mythologies.
Shot over four years, Kim Tae-yang’s feature debut tracks an ever-transforming Seoul, with each of its three chapters dramatising a different meaning of the Korean word ‘mimang’.
This breezy trip down memory lane is a bit of Hong Sang Soo and a lot of Richard Linklater, as the meandering, parallel pathways of these two people, and of several other characters in their orbit, offer sophisticated, reflexive discourse on life, love, death and impermanence.
