A big-city detective helps two inept small-town cops investigate a serial killer.
"2003's Memories Of Murder is one of Bong Joon-ho's (Parasite) most acclaimed films, a Zodiac-esque tale of the police hunt for a serial killer in South Korea, blending thrills and pathos and gags in his signature Bong-ian brew.
"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 realise 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 stars Song Kang-Ho (also of Parasite), and has long been hailed not just as one of Bong’s very best – but as one of the greatest serial killer thrillers of the new millennium." - Empire
