"A world-class artist at the top of his game." - David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
"At the peak of his powers, full of wit and melancholy, Park Chan-wook creates the platonic ideal of the romantic, elaborate noir thriller." - Jessica Kiang, Variety
After a detective is assigned to solve the case of a man’s death, he develops feelings for the dead man’s mysterious widow, and his investigation takes an entirely new focus.
