Filmmaker Lee Kwang-kuk noted for his unique style of deriving a story from another story in his debut film Romance Joe(2011) returns with another interesting narrative structure in his 2nd film A Matter of Interpretation. The film builds tension from a familiarly smooth transition between reality and unreality. An actress storms out of a theater after throwing a fit at her troupe members when no one shows up at her play. She ends up at a nearby park and calls her boyfriend out to whom she relates how she almost got a part in a feature film. Her boyfriend’s comforting words seem useless as she tells him she wants to break up with him. The actress then meets a suspicious detective who reprimands her for smoking in a non-smoking area, then explains how he saw a woman who committed suicide nearby. The detective’s tale of the woman who suffocated to death in a car is followed by the actress attempting suicide in a car. When the actress discovers the detective locked up in the car trunk, the film is pushed into a unpredictable direction. What then is in store for the various situations surrounding the actress?
