Memories of Murder is a 2003 South Korean crime drama directed by Bong Joon-ho, based on the true story of South Korea's first serial murders, which occurred between 1986 and 1991 in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. Song Kang-ho stars as Detective Park, a rural investigator who relies on gut instinct and questionable interrogation methods, and Kim Sang-kyung as Detective Seo, a Seoul detective brought in for his analytical approach, as they investigate a series of brutal rapes and murders of young women in rice paddies. Bong Joon-ho — years before Parasite — crafted one of the finest police procedurals ever made, a film that was simultaneously a gripping murder investigation, a darkly comic portrait of incompetent rural policing, and a meditation on the frustration of an unsolved case that haunts its investigators for decades.

The final shot, in which Park stares directly into the camera, was one of the most unsettling and emotionally loaded endings in crime cinema. Memories of Murder earned $12 million domestically in South Korea.
