During these 10 days, Professor Jeong (Cho Yun-hee), the head of the department, becomes more and more enamored with Sieon. River films possess a sense of narrative drift caused by the intersecting paths of autonomous storylines, each associated with a different character—tributaries running into a major waterway, with parts of some hidden by others. The river film is never a clear and crystalline surface, whether due to its muddiness or its blinding reflection. Earlier, we’d seen one of Jeonim’s textile works, dominated by a bluish gradient that references the constant movement of the Han River. I see her up on the mountain, painting a watercolor of the confluence of river and stream—the motif for her next textile project.
