Review of Memories of Murder (2003) by Timc. — 27 Aug 2005
Near perfect. The way this film resonates with reality back and forth through 20 years since the first killings in 1986, is particularly poignant and rich with meloncholy and nostalgia, at least for this particular expat.
The loss of innocence depicted here of the soulland of my country and the maturity and groundedness of its superb dramatic telling puts this film in a very special place in my DVD collection. The meticulous and understated direction by Bong Joon Ho is a quiet marvel.
