What Beasts Clawing at Straws Is About
A bag full of money is found in a locker at a bathhouse, and around it the lives of eight people who do not know each other tighten into a knot: an indebted attendant, a woman fleeing her husband, loan sharks, a customs officer and more. Kim Yong-hoon scrambles the chronology, delivering chapters out of order and leaving the audience to place who did what and when. Jeon Do-yeon is at the centre and never explains her character. The idea is a classic one, that money does not reveal people, it only accelerates them. The familiar hardness of Korean crime cinema is mixed with comedy here, and the violence is often clumsy, which makes it worse. Who it is for: viewers who like Korean crime films and interlocking structures. Who it is not for: anyone wanting linear storytelling, since this keeps rewinding.
