I ended up watching this super late, basically a midnight showing. I was very worried that a foreign drama very late in an empty theater would put me to sleep, but no, I was fully engaged. I went in without really knowing anything about the movie other than the famous director. And I think that leads to an interesting experience, but there is no way to really review it without discussing it at a high level. This is similar to Rashomon where the usage of perspective is heavily explored. It starts by exploring events across a few days from one angle, then shifts it to another. It's fascinating just from a technical level because it actually ends up being a bit of a mystery box. You need to keep track of small clues, and see how they morph from different angles. But at the same time, I do think it becomes a bit challenging. My one complaint would be that this storytelling trick sometimes showcases the hand of the director a bit too much. By that, I mean that sometimes the way things are hidden, or the way they get recontextualized, feels less organic and more for the sake of the story. But I would say that only applies to less than 10% of the overall events. Also, to avoid repetition, after switching perspectives, the movie does not hold your hand. It jumps between events, letting the viewer extrapolate what happened given their new understanding of motivations/sequence of events. I enjoyed that, but every now and then I did find myself getting a bit confused with the timeline, thinking something had already happened before it did. A lot of my review has been on the technical/plot aspect of the movie. Partially, because I enjoyed it and found it innovative, but also because talking about the emotional/thematic core would certainly be spoilers. Suffice it to say, I found this movie haunting and beautiful, and an excellent exploration into what really constitutes a "monster" in society.
