Other name: 오마주, Omaju

Description:

Hommage is a deeply resonant film that follows a middle-aged woman, a film director herself, as she navigates the complexities of her professional life and the challenges of pursuing her artistic dreams. Her journey takes a significant turn when she undertakes the meticulous and personal task of restoring a forgotten film by a pioneering female director from the 1960s. This intricate restoration project becomes far more than just a job; it transforms into an introspective quest, compelling her to confront her own creative struggles and reassess her perceptions of filmmaking.

As she breathes new life into the historical footage, she uncovers profound connections between the past director's vision and her own artistic dilemmas, prompting a powerful reflection on the very essence of cinema. Hommage is a compelling tribute that delves into questions of artistic legacy, the experiences of women in film, and ultimately, what truly defines a film. This thought-provoking drama debuted at the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 30, 2021, and saw a broader cinema release in May 2022.
