After rejected at a casting call, the rather unsuccessful actor, Kyung-soo takes off to Chuncheon where he meets a woman who lures him into a one-night stand. Heading home on the train, he meets another woman and pursues her. The woman, married to a University professor, expresses her interest in Kyung-soo, but in the end, dumps him. Turning Gate is a film that has much to say about relationships and human nature through its explorations of imitation and repetition. The cynical humor that has been a trademark of filmmaker Hong Sangsoo once again runs throughout the film, yet with more sophistication in cinematic play, and the existential quality of his characters. The director’s subtle evolution can be seen in this film.
