Ostensibly a murder mystery, THE GENERAL'S MUSTACHE is more of a realist social drama that explores mid 20th century Korea and what made it tick. A couple of detectives delve into a guy's torrid past in order to uncover the reasons behind his mystery death. It's a slow and talky movie that nonetheless possesses a real depth of character and has a lot to say about the place of the individual within a society. It also has much in common with Ralph Ellison's THE INVISIBLE MAN.

Interesting psychological thriller in which they are implemented cartoon clips.

Warning: Spoilers
Watched this too !! Being the yellow or the detective my favorite genre, I can say that this movie did not disappoint my expectations. Sure yellow is just a setting, as in this film analyzes the psychological part of the two main protagonists, and they their story is told through flashbacks
The part cartoon is very cute (for the time I think even the original), pity that not very hard.
Since this film can be seen underneath ... even a little the political context of the 60s in Korea (especially in the cartoon) is in fact shown a man who does not want to be like all the other
The film lasts almost two hours, it is not a heavy film, but I happened to go a little backward (up to 10 minutes) and to review some sequences, the film has its own particular structure and do not recommend to see him off in mind.
