The film is based on the true story of Mike and Claire Sardina, a couple from Wisconsin who performed Neil Diamond covers as “Lightning and Thunder.” Director Craig Brewer tells the story of how they met, found success playing music in Milwaukee, overcame a serious accident, and eventually returned to performing.
Park Chan-wook takes the basic idea from Patricia Highsmith’s story – a fired worker calmly and coldly kills the four men who are his rivals for a job – and reimagines it as a series of fortunate accidents that allow the main character, Man-su (played by Lee Byung-hun), to commit one crime after another. The film begins in the summer, with Man-su grilling eels in the backyard of his beautiful home. These eels are a thank-you gift from the paper mill where he’s worked loyally for 25 years. He’s surrounded by his wife, Miri (Son Ye-jin), his children – teenage son Si-one (Woo Seung Kim) and younger daughter Ri-one (So Yul Choi) – and their two adorable golden retrievers. Ri-one, who is neurodivergent and a talented cellist, has a special bond with the dogs. At this moment, Man-su feels completely content with his comfortable, middle-class life.
