Hört sich top an! Die Splatting Image lobt ihn ebenfalls in den höchsten Tönen. Soll eine Parabel über die Einsamkeit sein, verquickt mit einem Thriller-/Mord-Thema. Angeblich wird dabei
Memories of Murder, mit dem er auch die ländliche Location gemeinsam hat, sogar noch übertroffen, da der Humor stark zurückgeschraubt wird. Werde mal Ausschau danach halten, und sobald ich ihn irgendwo günstig seh, klicken.
