A Matter of Interpretation (2015)

Filmmaker Lee Kwang Kuk noted for his unique style of deriving a story from another story in his debut film Romance Joe (2011) returns with another interesting narrative structure in his 2nd film A Matter of Interpretation. The film builds tension from a familiarly smooth transition between reality and unreality. An actress storms out of a theater after throwing a fit at her troupe members when no one shows up at her play. She ends up at a nearby park and calls her boyfriend out to whom she relates how she almost got a part in a feature film. Her boyfriend’s comforting words seem useless as she tells him she wants to break up with him. The actress then meets a suspicious detective who reprimands her for smoking in a non-smoking area, then explains how he saw a woman who committed suicide nearby. The detective’s tale of the woman who suffocated to death in a car is followed by the actress attempting suicide in a car. When the actress discovers the detective locked up in the car trunk, the film is pushed into an unpredictable direction. What then is in store for the various situations surrounding the actress?
