Thoughts on Claire's Camera

I saw a decent artsy movie at the Moving Image museum called Claire’s Camera. It was just slightly over an hour long, directed by Hong Sang-soo, who had a new film at this year’s New York Film Festival. This film came out last year, and stars Isabelle Huppert and Kim Min-hee as two women who serendipitously meet in Cannes during the film festival, and connect warmly while dealing with personal life upheavals. It was shot beautifully, with a lot of wide shots of beachside scenes and cafe discussions, and the film was in Korean, French, and English. I liked its intimate discussions with characters displaying both a mix of being honest while putting up fronts. I don’t have a lot of deep thoughts on it, I just liked it as a discussion-heavy character study set within one day far from home.
