Isabelle Huppert stars in this fractured fairy tale about 1, 2, and then 3 French women who arrive in Korea to fulfill the imagined story-lines of a young writer's fantasy world.
It is a study in acting as Ms. Huppert savors filmic moments of odd or uncomfortable situations. The script proceeds cohesively through each of the three scenarios, offering the audience enough visual material to find their own connections between scenes and across scenarios.
Termed "a comedy" overall, there is still plenty of meat to chew on: the idolization of the foreigner, the rules of fidelity and infidelity, the willingness to dupe another, the poignancy of aging. -dp
