The “Ah-reum Trilogy” is a loose thematic grouping of films by Hong Sang-soo, consisting of The Day After (2017), Grass (2018), and Hotel by the River (2018). While not connected through a continuous narrative, the films are linked by their stark black-and-white cinematography and recurring performances by Kim Min-hee as characters named Ah-reum, exploring love, observation, and interpersonal dynamics in Hong’s distinct conversational style.
