Bong Joon Ho's brilliant crime drama MEMORIES OF MURDER recounts the true story of the hunt for a serial rapist and murderer who terrorised a small province in 1980s South Korea. This 2003 film from the PARASITE Oscar-winner marks the first of many successful collaborations between Bong Joon Ho and leading man Song Kang Ho. Now, seventeen years after its initial release - and a year after the real culprit was identified through DNA - this cult classic takes its place as a modern masterpiece with this 4K restoration.

In 1986, Park (Song Kang-ho) and Cho (Kim Roi-ha) are two simple-minded detectives assigned to a double murder investigation in a South Korean province. But when the murderer strikes several more times with the same pattern, the detectives realize that they are chasing the country's first documented serial killer. Relying on only their basic skills and tools, Park and Jo attempt to piece together the clues and solve the case in this thriller.

"One of the best crime dramas released in the past 20 years." (GQ)

"'Memories of Murder' blends the familiar crime genre with social satire and comedy, capturing the all-too human desperation of its key characters." (Rotten Tomatoes)

"How the hell does a film this tonally out there, with characters this lunkheaded and at times even cruel and hateful, manage to be so indescribably moving?" (Village Voice)
