Hong Sang-soo : 2008
Bam gua Nat
Kim Seong-nam is a successful married painter of around forty years of age. He has just arrived in Paris, on the run from a jail sentence in Seoul because he was caught smoking marijuana with some American visitors. Seong-nam finds a place to stay at a rundown hotel belonging to a Korean man in the 14e arrondissement. He spends his time wandering aimlessly about the streets of the city on the Seine, or meandering through the park, for there's little else for him to do here. By chance he runs into an ex-girlfriend, Min-seon, but the unexpected encounter leaves him cold. Seong-nam loves his wife whom he had to leave behind on her own in Korea, and his thoughts are constantly with her. But then he meets Hyeon-joo, a young Korean woman who is studying art in Paris and her flat-mate, Yoo-jeong. Seong-nam falls head over heels in love in this pretty and mysterious young woman. He also falls in love with Paris.
