Movie No. 8 (2015): BLACK COAL, THIN ICE

Black Coal, Thin Ice (2014)
Director: Diao Yinan
Cast: Fan Liao, Gwei Lunmei
In Chinese, with English subtitles

An ex-cop and his partner investigates a series of murders identical to the murder they were solving five years earlier that caused to end their police career. 

The wintry industrial backdrop is used effectively in the movie to convey coldness and trickiness of the weather. The noir0like treatment is excellently executed. And the writing and editing are simply contributory to coming up with a hallucinatory thriller.

Rating: 4.0/4.0

Date seen: January 4, 2015
