The international breakthrough film of South Korean auteur Bong Joon Ho (Pararsite), MEMORIES OF MURDER is an artful mixture of police procedural, serial killer drama, fish-out-of-water story, and buddy cop film. It follows the efforts of three policemen—two country cops who are used to playing by their own rules and the brainy, city detective who has arrived to help crack the case—as they try to unravel who has been abducting and brutally murdering the women of a small town. Set in 1986 and based on South Korea’s first recognized serial killer, this gorgeously shot film eschews easy answers to reflect a reality in which the perpetrator was never caught.
