Mimist

Directed by Jang Gun-ho

A performance held in Chuncheon celebrates the 50th anniversary of the debut of the mime artist Yu Jin-gyu. The film breathlessly follows what happens before and after the performance – from rehearsals to the after party, interviews and filming. some point out that jin-gyu’s art has changed, while others try and surmise where his desires are directed. jin-gyu reflects on ‘the poetic expression of desire’ through mime and prepares to move forward.
