Cinema Guild has acquired North American distribution rights to Hong Sang-soo’s 35th feature, “Nowhere to Lay My Eyes,” ahead of the film’s debut at the 79th Locarno Film Festival. All three outlets report that the movie premieres in an international competition at the Swiss festival, scheduled for August. The acquisition places the film for North American audiences under Cinema Guild’s distribution slate. The reported storyline centers on Sanghee, played by Kim Minhee, who visits her mother on Jeju Island with her brother after a long period apart. The sources describe the film as reflecting on life’s meaning and complexity, with one outlet quoting Cinema Guild’s characterization of it as a “bittersweet reflection” on those themes. While the articles focus mainly on the distribution deal and festival premiere timing, they consistently identify the director, the title, the production as Hong Sang-soo’s latest feature, and the core premise involving family reunion on Jeju Island.
