Nuanced police drama from Bong Joon-ho (The Host) about detectives hunting a serial killer in late 1980s South Korea. It works on several levels, but it's primarily a character study -- suffice it to say that it's gorgeous, brilliantly realized, and a complete enumeration of its virtues would take more time than I have available. Other than the music, which intruded at times with swelling pomposity, I have no real complaints at all. Superb stuff.
