Memories of Murder

Based on real events, Memories of Murder tells the harrowing story of the hunt for a sadistic serial rapist and murderer terrorizing a small province in 1980s South Korea. 

Marking the first of many successful collaborations between four-time Oscar winner Bong Joon Ho and leading man Song Kang Ho, the film follows the paths of three increasingly desperate detectives as they attempt to decipher the violent mind of a killer in a futile effort to solve the case. Now, five years after the real culprit was identified, this gripping detective drama with a distinctly Korean style takes its place as a cult classic and a modern masterpiece.
