A Muse (2012)

Description:

A Muse is a gripping drama that explores the complex boundaries of desire, aging, and artistic inspiration. Lee Jeok Yo is a highly respected national poet in his seventies, living a quiet life with his thirty-something assistant, Seo Ji Woo. Recently, Seo Ji Woo has achieved massive success with a bestselling psychological novel, though his literary triumph hides a deep debt to his mentor. Their routine is disrupted when Lee Jeok Yo discovers Eun Gyo, a high school girl, asleep on his porch. Instantly captivated by her presence, the elderly poet hires her as a part-time house cleaner instead of punishing her for trespassing. As Eun Gyo brings life and warmth into his home, her youthful energy awakens long-lost passions inside Lee Jeok Yo. In his mind, her genuine warmth and zest for life strip his years away, turning her into his ultimate muse. This poetic film beautifully portrays the bittersweet collision of youth, jealousy, and forbidden inspiration.
