VIBE
This film immerses you in a profoundly unsettling and bleak atmosphere, where a detective's relentless pursuit of truth becomes an obsessive descent. It's a slow-burn, psychologically dense experience, steeped in a neo-noir aesthetic that feels both grittily real and deeply melancholic, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
