It feels like the type of movie to get lost in even if you're unsure of exactly what's happening the film's atmosphere and tone are so outstanding that you're swept up in it all.

Irma Vep is so hypnotic and uncanny that it inspires multiple viewings.

This was only Bong's second feature film, and the fact that he was able to deliver something like this so early in his career is nothing short of amazing. One particular sequence, where a young woman realizes she's being followed and tries to run away – only to run right into the killer – is one of the creepiest scenes ever captured on film. Bong is exacting in how he lets this unfold – he spends most of the time with the cops, but also cuts away to the killer stalking his prey in the rain. Like David Fincher's Zodiac, which owes a huge debt to Memories of Murder, this isn't really a murder mystery as much as it is about men who grow obsessed with solving that mystery, only to come up short despite their best efforts. The killer strikes on rainy nights, and seems to be unstoppable. The case involves a series of brutal serial killings targeting young women. Memories follows three very different cops – the cocky Park Doo-man ( Song Kang-ho), who thinks highly of himself and his detective skills his violent, angry partner Cho Yong-koo ( Kim Roi-ha) and Seo Tae-yoon ( Kim Sang-kyung), a quiet, methodical, brilliant cop who comes from Seoul to assist with a case. In the years since its release the killer has been caught, which makes the film's unsettling, open-ending ending extra eerie. At the time the film was made, Memories of Murder was inspired by a real series of unsolved murders. The film remains just as haunting and memorable as it was all those years ago – perhaps even more so now. Bong Joon-ho's 2003 masterpiece returns, restored by the Criterion Collection.
