Written and Directed by Park Hoon-jung

Rating: ★★★★★

It’s a compelling, comedic, blood-splattered gangster film with an unlikely romantic plot. While the action scenes in “Night In Paradise” may draw more attention, the quiet, understated moments delicately examine the bonds formed in unlikely situations and the strength of human connection. Despite the rivers of blood, there is a heart behind it all. The film is an impressively stylish thriller with captivating beauty, a melancholy atmosphere, and a soundtrack blending ominous electronics with jazz. The cinematography is perfect for the story, offering a poignant exploration of human nature amid chaos. Uhm Tae-goo and Jeon Yeo-been deliver exceptional performances; she was brilliant in “Vincenzo,” but this movie is a must-see!
