Introduction

In her third collaboration with South Korea’s super-prolific auteur, Isabelle Huppert – here at her most slyly mischievous – plays Iris, a Frenchwoman in Korea who offers language classes using her own highly oblique method. As mysteries thicken around Iris and her method, this teasingly elusive miniature offers poetic insight and philosophical wit, together with delicious performances from a cast including Hong regulars Lee Hyeyoung and Kwon Haehyo.
