The prolific, award-winning Korean director Hong Sangsoo is back in San Sebastián to compete for the Golden Shell with Walk Up, a small intimist story, with very few characters who interact through long conversations that they have while eating and drinking around a table, or while moving up and down in the building which provides the only location in the entire film. The natural, spontaneous conversations that people have in the places where they live form the focal point of Sangsoon’s cinema, which he reveals are often dialogues that he hears all around him. Although the main character in Walk Up is a film director, Sangsoon denies that the film is autobiographical.
“There are no scenes that replicate things that have happened to me. However, there are details that reflect my point of view. My films aren’t biographical but they are honest about my own life. I don’t know how honest you need to be in order to be a good director, but I can say that at the very least this is my natural inclination”.
