The tune of the color, sound, framing & even dialog is so mesmerizing. But I don’t get it.

A police film that perhaps has more ambitions than what it finally manages to create. Heavily influenced by the texture of Korean thrillers, it leads to a somewhat confusing story that feels more atmospheric than truly elaborate. As the investigation becomes darker, it also progressively loses its pacing, and conveys the feeling of wanting to be more than what it finally is. Special mention to the excellent design of a poster that references Edvard Munch in an unexpectedly appropriate way.

If you are expecting a police movie with shooting and fighting, you'll be disappointed. This is none of that. There is police work, but its mostly a psychological portrait of the protagonist. Wonderful acting and amazing cinematography. I highly recommended it

Multiple people die. Detective gets attacked by ping pong balls. Wife has kid. Movie over. It's a shame not much happens in this film because it is quite beautiful and so shot through with a romantic nostalgia.
