Walk Up

Hong Sangsoo
Südkorea 2022
97 min
V'22

In American English, you can use the word “story” with two completely different, meanings. A “story” can be the floor in a building and it can also be, well, a story. In WALK UP, both meanings curiously combine and connect, a probably unintentional layer of interpretation in a movie that’s full of them.
This is a film about a director who goes with his daughter to visit an old friend, an interior designer, to ask her for advice about the profession, since the young woman wants to become a designer just like her. That’s the entrance to this three-story building in which four stories are actually being told, since you have to consider the ground floor too. During the course of an unspecified amount of time (it could be weeks, months, even years), the filmmaker will meet different women and, over the course of a few meals and a lot of wine and soju, a whole life may have passed. Or probably not.
Hong Sangsoo creates another apparently simple but extremely complex puzzle of relationships (between a father and his daughter, a man and a few women) in different stages of life. A game that explores desires, dreams, regrets and, of course, cinema. Life as a three-story story. (Diego Lerer)
