Memories of Murder (dir. Bong Joon-ho).

Bong’s 2003 masterful film remains a hallmark of the New Korean Cinema movement. Memories of Murder painstakingly ritualizes the act of murder as it tries to solve situations and how the investigation went wrong. It takes an unsatisfying case and details how it unfolded to reveal much more about those involved trying to understand the obsession of mystery over finding the actual killer himself.
