A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
While working at a funeral parlour, Lim discovers a mysterious book that contains a "Book Spirit", which decides to gives him winning lottery numbers and financial advice. The winnings at first are meager, but as the their fortune increases, things start to get "complicated".

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
