Renowned auteur Hong Sang-soo brings together his frequent collaborators in Hotel by the River, a quietly profound black-and-white drama exploring mortality, family, and emotional solitude. This award-winning Korean film stars Gi Ju-bong, who earned the Leopard Award for Best Actor at the 71st Locarno Film Festival for his deeply introspective performance.
Set in a serene riverside hotel during winter, the story follows Young-hwan (Gi Ju-bong), an aging poet who, sensing his end is near, invites his two estranged sons – Kyung-soo (Kwon Hae-hyo) and Byung-soo (Yu Jun-sang) – for an uneasy reunion. At the same time, another guest, Sang-hee (Kim Min-hee), seeks solace from heartbreak with the help of her friend Yeon-joo (Song Seon-mi).
Over one poignant night, these five lives briefly intersect through quiet moments, shared drinks, and conversations that speak volumes about loss, love, and the human condition.
