Homicide detective Jung Jae-gon is chasing after a suspect of a murder case . He knew his suspect would get in touch with his lover Kim Hye-kyung, who is a madam at a third-rate bar. Jung goes undercover as the suspect's former cellmate and becomes the floor manager at the bar where Kim works, and watches her every move. But as Jung spends more time with her, he feels strange sense of guilt and his resolve to catch the suspect is shaken. Having dedicated his life to police work, Jung doesn't understand the feeling he feels towards Kim. On the other hand, Kim waits tirelessly for her lover to come back to her, but she begins to open up to Jung, who is always by her side. [Festival de Cannes]

***************

A cop gets entangled with a bar madam he uses as bait to hunt down a murderer in “The Shameless,” a stylish film noir that owes its mood of slow-burning heartbreak to the masterful performance of female lead Jeon Do-yeon. Helmer-scribe Oh Seung-uk, an accomplished screenwriter who contributed to the first Korean Wave, evokes the futile longings of low-life misfits in a seedy world of corrupt police and dirty corporate businessmen in coolly executed, well-calibrated style. A  mellow pleasure to be slowly savored, this polished work should be welcomed at festivals and will slot nicely into Euro arthouse niches. [Maggie Lee, Variety]
