Gi Ju-bong and Kim Min-hee in In Our Day (2023)

Opens May 17 at Film at Lincoln Center

Sangwon (Kim Minhee), an actress recently returned to South Korea, is temporarily staying with her friend, Jungsoo (Song Sunmi), and her cat, Us. Elsewhere in the city, the aging poet Uiju (Ki Joobong) lives alone, his cat having recently passed away. On this ordinary day, each of them has a visitor: Sangwon is visited by her cousin, Jisoo (Park Miso) and Uiju, by a young actor, Jaewon (Ha Seongguk). Both Sangwon and Uiju have ramyun noodles for lunch and they both add hot pepper paste to their ramyun noodles, not a very common thing to do. As our friends talk and drink the day away, similarities between these encounters multiply and we begin to realize they may be more than just mere coincidence.

With his 30th feature film, Hong demonstrates a new level of mastery of his art, using long, deceptively elaborate shots to articulate the simplest of pleasures: an inter-species encounter, the discovery of a new drink, a game of rock paper scissors. Kim and Ki lead an outstanding cast of the most natural of performers. In Our Day is a film to drink of deeply, to share with friends, and afterward, to reflect on what matters most.

Simple meditative movie from Hong Sang-soo

Hong Sang-soo is a interesting filmmaker as while he hasn't fully amazed me, I have seen majority of his work and I found them to be simple yet meditative and calm as his works captures the essence of ordinary life. In Our Day isn't one of his best works but it's an interesting simple story about life and people with good conversations and dialogue from the cast members and interesting themes.

Hong's style is simple yet interesting as his approaches on his themes are well-handled and investing. The dialogue, while at times does feel a bit too staged within the setting, feels genuine. The performances from the cast are good and there are some interesting themes about everyday life that worked pretty well.

While it isn't Hong's most ambitious work as there are some lightening and pacing that could be better. Overall, it's a solid feel-good type movie from Hong. Cute cats too.
