Bong-director of Barking Dogs Never Bite (2000), The Host (2006), Mother (2009), Snowpiercer(2013), and Okja (2017)-issued a statement in September in advance of the release of the older film in the US.īong noted in his comment that the murder case “was severely traumatic to the Korean public … The victims and their families, innocent suspects who were hauled and tormented, failed detectives who found themselves in despair, people of those times who trembled with fear … This case occurred in the dark era of military dictatorship in the 80s, and truly created a further and darker abyss.” The film, as explained below, concerns a real-life serial murder case that occurred in South Korea in the late 1980s and early 1990s-a series of crimes that was finally solved only in 2019. Memories of Murder is well worth watching. Bong’s work was screened for two nights in theaters nationwide in the US October 19–20, and is now available on the various streaming services.

The digitally remastered movie has been shown in Italy, Russia, Greece, Taiwan, Canada and Finland over the past year. The success of Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, which won four major awards at the Academy Awards in February 2020 (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature Film), has prompted distributors to release the director’s earlier film, Memories of Murder (2003).
