Woman Who Ran, The

[Available Feb. 11 via streaming on MUBI.] While her book translator/teacher husband of five years is away on business in Hong Sang-soo's engaging, lighthearted, well-written, down-to-earth, 77-minute, 2020 film, a meat-loving Korean flower shop manager (Kim Min-hee) looks for a brief escape by going to Seoul to visit three friends, including a divorced, feline-loving vegetarian (Seo Young-hwa) who lives with a roommate (Eun-mi Lee) and has a neighbor (Shin Seok-ho) whose wife is cat phobic; a dance choreographer and pilates instructor (Song Seon-mi) who finds an attraction to an architect who lives upstairs and is being stalked by a 26-year-old poet (Seong-guk Ha) with whom she had a one-nightstand; and when she goes to watch a film, she accidentally runs into an estranged, apologetic, theater manager friend (Sae-Byuk Kim) who is married to a successful novelist (Hae-hyo Kwon) she once dated.
