Memories of Murder (Sarin vi Chu-pok)
Bong Joon-ho | South Korea | 2003 | R16
“The US probably generates more serial killer thrillers than any other country, but decades have passed since it produced one that - like this South Korean film - uses the subject matter to form a societal and political indictment… An award-winning box-office smash in its homeland, Bong Joon-ho’s suspenseful and ultimately haunting movie connects a series of unsolved rape-homicides to the sexism and brutality in a village’s police department, and to the prejudice and suspicion that ran rampant during the late-'80s military dictatorship of Chun Doo-hwan. The superb cinematography by Kim Hyung-ku… and a trio of strong performances fuse in the climax, where good guys and bad guys remain hard to tell apart and a truth sought for years seems to vanish into a darkened tunnel.”
- Johnny Ray Huston, San Francisco Bay Guardian.
