What The Age of Shadows is

Seoul streets slick with winter rain, 1928. Shoes crunch on broken glass. A paper lantern collapses in an alley’s dim glow. Fugitive couriers slip ink-stained maps beneath floorboards. Silk-shadowed figures trade bullets for secrets in cafés that aren’t cafés. A Korean noir chase film pulsed through Korean New Wave muscle.
