| MEMORIES OF MURDER (2003) | |
|
|
In the 1986 when South Korea was under totalitarian rule there was a series of grisly murders of young women in a rural area. The rural police used unconventional methods in order to attempt to uncover the identity of the killer after they discovered the first body. When a second body is discovered a police officer from Seoul is sent to help with the investigation, but the rural police become more crude in their methods. This leads to a further distrust of the police force as it begins to cloud the police force's own judgment as more bodies are discovered. Memories of Murder is an interesting investigation story that displays a societal phenomenon of the rural area that is plagued of poor policing and a murderer. The director Joon-ho Bong creates an intelligent and brilliant cinematic experience as he reveals the truth behind a true event that took place in South Korea in 1986. |
