“A beguiling Isabelle Huppert anchors the best (and funniest) Hong Sang-soo film in several years. Long may this exciting yet bizarre actor-director collaboration continue.”
—IndieWire

“You can spend the entire film wondering if you have properly understood the joke, or if it is a joke. But it is hypnotically watchable.”
—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

A comedy of improbable encounters and unlikely language lessons, A TRAVELER’S NEEDS marks the third collaboration between Hong Sang-Soo and Isabelle Huppert.

This time Huppert plays Iris, a woman who finds herself adrift in Seoul and, without any means to make ends meet, turns to teaching French via a très peculiar method. Through a series of encounters, as we grow to know more about Iris and her situation, the mysteries of her circumstances only deepen.
