Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Park Chan-wook has mentioned that initially he didn't like the idea of using many text messages in the film. He even said that he considered making it a period piece, in order for the characters to write each other beautifully hand written letters instead of text messages on their phones. When he finally decided on a contemporary setting, when possible, he had the characters use a smart watch, voice recordings and translation apps instead of typing.
- GoofsAt 1:10, there is a close up of Ki Do-soo's Rolex Day Date with perpetual movement. This is an automatic watch, with sweeping second hand, and yet it is show to 'tick' to the next minute, and the minute hand jumps. This is not how Rolex automatic movements work.

Featured review
A body has been found beneath a cliff, you are a copper, and you should find what made him stiff, was it suicide or murder, an accident, lets dig down further, speak to his wife, try to discover any rift. It's not too long before you're caught inside a spell, a kind of fog descends that clouds and hangs and dwells, conflicting feelings are consumed, Chinese Whispers are perfumed, exchanges made, that lock you in, a widows cell. Time passes and you take a new commission, until out shopping and you fall into remission, a second bolt gives you a jolt, brings you to another halt, the rising tides, conceal and hide, your indiscretion.
Great performances, especially from Tang Wei, and a story to get you thinking, that is what great directors and great films are supposed to do after all.
