Princess Aurora

Directed by Pang Eun-jin1h 46m2005

A woman gets killed in a department store. No one imagines this could lead to serial murders, but two days after the first murder, another homicide occurs. A woman is suffocated to death and the only evidence left at the crime scene is a sticker of the cartoon character “Princess Aurora”.

Our read: Princess Aurora (2005) reads as a heavy, kinetic, grounded crime · drama · mystery entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
