gahh, i was so fulfilled and happy when the credits rolled in. honestly the best feeling a movie can give me. the movie just blew me away! the cinematography and mise-en-scène were so fucking amazing, every single frame felt deliberate and beautiful. even the explicit sex scenes were shot in a way that looked… stunning? i don’t think i’ve ever seen a movie pull that off before. the acting was out of this world too. kim min-hee and kim tae-ri were so convincing that i felt sad when it ended because i just wanted more of them. and then ha jung-woo as the count? hilarious one second, disgusting the next. cho jin-woong as the uncle legit scared the shit out of me. just such a wild, layered, gorgeous film.
