Synopsis: In 1986, in the province of Gyunggi, in South
Korea, a second young and beautiful woman is found dead, raped and tied
and gagged with her underwear. Detective Park Doo-Man and Detective Cho
Yong-koo, two brutal and stupid local detectives without any technique,
investigate the murder using brutality and torturing the suspects,
without any practical result. The Detective Seo Tae-Yoon from Seoul
comes to the country to help the investigations and is convinced that a
serial-killer is killing the women. When a third woman is found dead in
the same "modus-operandi", the detectives find leads of the assassin.
Rotten Tomatoes
Memories of Murder is a policier based on the actual case of the
first recorded serial killer in Korea's history. The rape murders began
in 1986 in Hwaseong, a small village south of Seoul, and continued for
several years during a time of political upheaval in South Korea.
Detective Park Doo-man (Song Kang-ho of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance), an
overconfident local cop, is assigned to the case, taking along his
partner, Detective Cho Yong-koo (Kim Rwe-ha), whose interrogation
methods involve
covering his boot with a
cloth so it won't leave scratches on detainees' necks. After the first
few murders, they quickly narrow their sights on a suspect (Park
Noh-shik). Seo Tae-yoon (Kim Sang-kyung of Turning Gate), a young
detective from Seoul, volunteers to work on the case. Park resents his
presence, but Seo quickly realizes that the locals have the wrong man.
Before he can share his ideas, the department is humiliated, and the
police chief is replaced. Seo quietly begins to piece together a pattern
to the murders. For one thing, they all took place in the rain, and the
victims all wore red. But the murderer seems to be one step ahead of
the cops. Working independently (they disdain each other's methods),
Park and Seo stumble upon another suspect, and the two local cops work
on beating a confession out of him. But it's soon clear that they've
arrested the wrong man yet again. They become more desperate, and the
case begins to take a devastating toll on the policemen's lives.
Memories of Murder, directed by Bong Joon-ho from a script by Bong, Kim
Kwang-rim, and Shim Sung-bo, was a huge box-office hit in South Korea.
The film won several awards at the 2003 San Sebastián Film Festival and
was also shown at the 2004 New York Korean Film Festival. ~ Josh Ralske,
