Memories of Murder (Criterion Collection)

As a rural South Korean town in the mid-1980s was rocked by the brutal and unprecedented efforts of a serial murderer, the instinctive but overmatched local cop (Song Kang-ho) in charge finds his methodologies clashing--ultimately tragically--with those of the slick homicide detective (Kim Sang-kyung) sent in from Seoul. Director Bong Joon-ho’s compelling, fact-based thriller also stars Kim Roi-ha, Song Jae-ho, Byun Hee-bong. 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Korean Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; making-of documentary; featurettes; deleted scenes; theatrical trailer; more. In Korean with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
