Park Chan-wook / South Korea 2022 / 139 min / 15 / Subtitles
Winning the best director award at Cannes 2022, the film centres
on a detective investigating the death of a man who has
apparently fallen from a monumental mountain. He becomes
increasingly fixated on the case and on the victim’s beautiful
widow. With a director at the top of his game, using audaciously
inventive camerawork to pull you right in, the end result is a
stunningly shot and cleverly orchestrated film, creating a mounting
sense of delirium, and what may be the best erotic cop thriller
ever made. “… keeps you off-kilter throughout, in the best
possible way”(Empire).
