Eun-seok (Lee Jeong-jae), a struggling young filmmaker, is interviewing actors for an upcoming project when he is introduced to Yeong-heui (Shim Eun-ha), a hairdresser who tagged along with a close friend auditioning for a role. Eun-seok is struck by Yeong-heui's beauty, and he interviews her for a role, though she's quite shy and doesn't seem comfortable in front of a camera. Before Eun-seok can get his project off the ground, Yeong-heui disappears, and he discovers that the woman used an assumed name for her impromptu audition. Twelve months later, Eun-seok is working in France as part of the camera crew of another director's film, and he discovers Yeong-heui is living there, working as a dance instructor. He soon learns the truth about her recent past, while she is told of his failed romance in Paris. Intyebyu was shown in its native South Korea in a version running 107 minutes, while the print prepared for international distribution was expanded to 124 minutes. The original South Korean edition also bore the imprint of Dogma 95, a movement championing aesthetic asceticism in filmmaking that was founded in part by director Lars von Trier, though the longer cut did not carry the Dogma logo. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
