Memories of Murder

To prevent further crimes, three increasingly desperate detectives with conflicting methods race against time to unravel the violent mind of the killer in a futile effort to solve the case. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →My ★★★★ review of Memories of Murder boxd.it/bi9k6r Almost two seperate cop movies. Begins with over-the-top comic ineptitude. Finishes brilliantly as powerhouse of ethical ambiguity. Great performances grow deeper & tension escalates as film progresses. #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1073

unlabelledView post →I hate the idea of Memories of Murder being remade in the US because that film is a very specific critique of capitalism and official corruption and incompetence in late 90s Korea. The culture it's embedded in is the point of the story. Boo to this. #kdrama 🎥 #filmsky

unlabelledView post →This happens in film. Folks think the shitty DVDs they watched as a kid were the meta. Take Memories of Murder. Everyone thought that was saturated but in reality it's a retimed dvd master meant for CRTs. The desaturated remaster is what was intended and if you study trailers you can see that grade

unlabelledView post →joe you should watch Memories of Murder by Bong Joon Ho which is notionally a detective movie but is in actuality a movie about hitting the most incredible dropkicks at the most unpredictable moments. there's a dropkick that almost gets a guy retired on the spot. there's a dropkick from atop a hill

unlabelledView post →Memories of Murder is a very unsettling movie that definitely gave me that feeling of uncertainty and dread when I watched it for it really manages to creep you out in terms of what it offers with it's mystery and psychological horror elements that make us realize the horrors of corrupt institutions
unlabelledView post →I'm half-watching Bong Joon-ho's The Host while I write today. I don't think it's his best film (Parasite? Memories of Murder? gosh, what a filmmaker), but it might be my favorite and is definitely the one I return to most often. What a wonderful, nearly perfect monster movie.

unlabelledView post →The Host. 2006. Dir: Bong Joon Ho. Between Memories of Murder & Mother, BJH made this delightfully insane monster movie — all his sociopolitical, family & class divide tropes are still at the core — but ultimately what we’ve got here is a giant salamander hunting people for food #shocktober #horror
unlabelledView post →The number 1 movie in the NYTimes top hundred movies of the 21st century is Bong Joon Ho's Parasite. A good flick, but if they had to have BJH, they should have picked Memories of Murder. It's a better flick.

unlabelledView post →I still think its nuts that Korean film legend Song Kang-ho (of Parasite, A Taxi Driver, and Memories of Murder) has a silent cameo as a North Korean soldier in The Interview (the James Franco/Seth Rogen movie about Kim Jong-un) Such a random role and film to see him in lol

unlabelledView post →Le nouveau film du maestro Bong Joon-ho démarre avec la bonne note de 6.8, assez loin de MEMORIES OF MURDER (8.1), MOTHER (7.7) ou PARASITE (8.3), mais tout proche d'autres films comme OKJA (7), SNOWPIERCER (6.7) et THE HOST (7).

For best effect, see it •after• watching the noir masterpiece ‘Memories of Murder (살인의 추억)’.
unlabelledView post →Parasite is great. If you like it, I'd recommend Memories of Murder (if you haven't already seen it) , another film by the same director Bong Joon Ho. More of a crime thriller but similar vibes, it's great!
unlabelledView post →Memories of Murder Made by the same director as Parasite, I like this horror thriller better, tbh. Two girls go missing and the film explores the investigation into their deaths. Drama, horror, true crime nuts would enjoy this one, I think. m.imdb.com/title/tt0353...
unlabelledView post →I don’t know what people expected from a science fiction movie directed by fucking Bong Joon-ho. You really thought the man that directed Parasite, Snowpiercer and Memories Of Murder wouldn’t include political subtext in his latest film? Maybe reviewing movies just isn’t for you.
