About the film
"Memories of Murder" originally premiered at the San Sebastián Film Festival where Bong Joon Ho won Best Director.
In 1986 Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, after two women are found raped and murdered, Seoul detective Seo Tae-yoon is brought in to help local detective Park Doo-man with the investigation. As more bodies are found, the pair realize they have a serial killer on their hands.
Inspired by true events, Bong Joon Ho’s sophomore feature blends true crime with social satire and even comedy in his typically masterful fashion. "Memories of Murder" (2003) marks the first of the filmmaker’s critically acclaimed projects with frequent collaborator Song Kang Ho (2019’s "Parasite").
