Memories of Murder 2003

A slow-burn crime drama sprinkled with dark comedy up until the third act as they are really close to solving the murder cases. The first two-thirds are very characteristic of South Korean film drama with awkward humor paced between drama and thriller mystery, but it never drifted away from the cinematic piece in the third act. The sound design and minimalist score emphasizes dramatic moments; with Bong-Joon Ho giving the third act an intense jolt as everything gets connected and arrived at the powerful climax (the famous train track scene), and, ultimately, a chilling ending that revisits the opening scene with an lingering feeling of bleakness.

"Do you get up each morning too?"
