is more evocative of the cool ardor of Wong Kar-wai or the repressed emotions of Powell and Pressburger's films. Detective Hae-jun finds himself falling for Seo-rae , a Chinese immigrant who everyone else suspects of murdering her husband. There is always a distance between them – in mirrors and across tables in interrogation rooms, or from inside the officer's car as he stakes out her apartment – and these spaces are filled with yearning.
