Product Information

전대 미문의 연쇄살인사건 영화화

영화 [살인의 추억]은 80년대 중 후반, 전국을 공포에 휩싸이게 했던 화성연쇄살인사건을 소재로 한다. 1996년 초연된 김광림 연출의 연극 [날 보러와요]를 바탕으로, 실제 사건자료와 인터뷰를 통해 시나리오화 되었다. 화성연쇄살인사건은 불과 10여년 전의 사건으로 사건발생지역인 화성과 당시 관계자, 피해자 유족들이 예민하다는 점, 아직도 범인이 잡히지 않았다는 점, 그리고 무엇보다도 실제 사건이라는 점에서 아주 민감한 소재이기도 하다. 그것은 직접 각본을 쓰고 연출을 맡은 감독의 가장 큰 고민이기도 했는데, 영화 [살인의 추억]은 범인을 쫓는 형사들의 수사과정과 그들의 모습을 통해 거대한 사건 속에 휩쓸리는 바로 우리들의 모습을 그리고 있다.

Professional Review of "Memories Of Murder"

April 17, 2008

This professional review refers to Memories Of Murder (DTS Version) (Hong Kong Version)
A suprisingly powerful film from the director of the amusing Barking Dogs Never Bite, this film about a serial killer has the tone of Se7en but without the weirdness. More importantly, Memories of Murder has addressed the debate about integrity in police methods with the greatest effectiveness since Orson Welles made Touch of Evil. Song Kang-ho (JSA, The Foul King) is, as always, dynamite as the cop who is obsessed with this case.

Every Korean who sees this film knows, even if I didn't, that this is based on a true story (and from what I can tell is scrupulously faithful to the real events), so there's no reason for you not to know (even if I didn't). The interplay between the city cop and the country cops is well-balanced, and the pacing is sleekly maintained to keep you on the edge of your seat as it works the thriller atmosphere and keeping an aura of authenticity.

Not just the best Korean film of the year, or the best film of the PIFAN festival (though it actually didn't appear in the festival program), but one of the great films of 2003. Certainly the best Korean film since JSA and ... enough superlatives already... this is a ripper and not to be missed if you get the chance!

tailored for western market Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
This film seems to be promising in the beginning but you'll soon find that it is just like watching another of those Hollywood movie with sex and violence as its theme. What a waste of time.

Fantastic! Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This film is classy, gripping, wonderfully acted, illustrates superb cinematography and is one of the very best movies of its genre....not only in Korea, but the world. I am gradually introducing my friends to the glory that is Korean cinema because at the moment they are missing out on loads of fabulous gems...this film is no exception. Highly recommended!

NO.1 KOREAN MOVIE !!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
For me this is the most enjoyable korean movie you can see, based on true events (very accurately too) of serial killings that went on for many years and at a time when the government didn't have any recources to offer the policemen on the case, it shows how the officers involved had very little experience with serial killings, one of them trying to get any criminal he can find to confess, another who resorts to beating the suspects and a new policeman on the case who introduces the idea of using psychology to catch the killer. It concentrates very heavily on the characters of the film and is very funny at times due to the streak of dark humour, it also has a very realistic feel that puts you there, so unless you are an action junkie who has no time for depth, if there is only one korean movie you get to see you have to see memories of murder.
