If your library subscription to Kanopy has this movie available it is two and a half hours of mystery masterwork with fantastic cinematography that won International Critics Prize at Cannes 2018. It's based on Haruki Murakami and William Faulkner short stories Barn Burning. Lee Chang-Dong's BURNING.
