Grass is a South Korean film directed by Hong Sang-soo and released in 2018. The film is divided into three chapters and follows the character of Kim Min-hee, who plays a guest in a small café.
As the story progresses, Min-hee's character observes the other guests in the café and their interactions. She watches as a young woman confronts her ex-boyfriend, a married man tries to hit on a younger woman, and a man reminisces about a past love.
The film captures the quiet elegies of everyday life, exploring the themes of love, loss, and memory. Through its subtle and understated approach, the film paints a poignant portrait of human relationships, and the complexities that arise from our interactions with others.
Grass is a masterful exploration of the human condition, and a beautiful meditation on the fleeting nature of life and love. With its restrained but powerful storytelling and beautiful cinematography, the film is a striking example of Hong Sang-soo's unique cinematic vision.
