Memories of Murder (2003)

Bong Joon-ho co-wrote and directed Memories of Murder, a 2003 South Korean criminal thriller film. It is partially based on the actual story of Korea's first proven serial killings, which occurred in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, between 1986 and 1991. Detective Park and Detective Seo, played by Song Kang-ho and Kim Sang-kyung, are two of the investigators attempting to investigate the crimes.

On rainy days, Korea's first serial murderer targets ladies and demands that 'Sad Letters' be played on the radio. As a result of the seriousness of the issue, the local agencies enlist the help of a big-city detective, who egoistically eliminates the local detectives. The killings are still unsolved, despite the fact that the statute of limitations has passed. One of the most crucial aspects of a suspense film is pacing, and 'Memories of Murder' does it right. Its characters, particularly the investigator from Seoul, and the abrupt tonal shifts throughout the story reflect the film's startling feeling of emotional anguish. A film of the greatest caliber that ought to be seen by as many people as possible.
