Instead of calling it "Snowman", it's better to translate it as "Snowman".
Psychology can explain the motivation behind almost all behaviors, whether hidden or not, the expression of behavior directly or indirectly reflects a person's psychological state.
Two-thirds of the film is dull and slightly confusing. The mysteriously missing woman, the decadent and alcoholic detective, are like puzzle pieces. The context of the story is strung together through creepy snowmen, and the commonality of serial homicides is hidden under layers of clues. Just as there is no paper in the world that can wrap the fire, the moment the truth is unraveled is the moment of life and death for the hero. The sense of horror is not expressed through jumping shots. Many of the images are full of strained breathing and psychological oppression. Except for the death of the female agent, which is a little rushed, the rhythm is handled very well.
The director is Thomas Alfredson, who has directed "The Potmaker, Tailor, Soldier, and Spy". Perhaps this helps to understand the narrative rhythm of the film.
