Program Description

Event Details

Join us on Monday evenings for a virtual movie discussion! Before each session, we'll announce a new film choice from Kanopy, a free streaming service accessible with your library card; you can then watch the movie at your leisure and participate in a patron-led discussion via Zoom. We look forward to seeing you there!

A refreshingly sunny performance from Isabelle Huppert is at the center of this comic charmer from South Korean Master Hong Sang-soo. Huppert plays Claire, a school teacher with a camera (that might be magical) on her first visit to Cannes. She happens upon a film sales assistant, Manhee (Kim Min-hee), recently laid off after a one-night stand with a film director (Jung Jin-young).

Together, this unlikely pair become detectives of sorts, as they wander around the seaside resort town, working to better understand the circumstances of Manhee's firing—and developing new outlooks on life in the process.

Official Selection at the Cannes Film Festival.
