John Baldecchi ( Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2U) will produce the pic. Every twist is delivered with a master’s touch that it’d take the broader world a few more years to recognise.Casting is ongoing, and the film is set to start filming in Canada this spring, with Dunstan directing from a screenplay by writers Josh Sims and Jessica Sarah Flaum. But as the body count continues to rise and the trail of clues grows maddeningly indistinct, the cloud of melancholy that hangs over the film becomes increasingly dark and intense. As is his signature, Bong injects healthy amounts of black humour into the proceedings, as a pair of ill-prepared rural cops team with a big city investigator (Kim Sang-kyung) to bring the killer to justice. Revolving around a series of real-life murders that shocked a small town in the ’80s, Memories of Murder twists the police procedural into a potent indictment of a society unequipped to deal with such violence and death. Even now, there are many fans – Quentin Tarantino among them – who’d argue it’s still his finest moment. There are many contenders for the best movie in the Bong Joon-ho filmography, but until Parasite dropped, this thriller was the consensus high watermark. 🥋 The 20 best martial arts movies of all-time 🇭🇰 The 100 best Hong Kong movies of all-time 🇯🇵 The 50 best Japanese movies of all-time 🇫🇷 The 100 best French movies of all-time Need to know where to start? Here’s your primer on the best Korean movies of all time. Delve into the history of Korean film, and you’ll find gut-punching melodramas, wry comedies, horror that’s both atmospheric and visceral, and operatic action flicks to rival Hong Kong. And it’s not all ultraviolence and sociopolitical commentary – though those themes do crop up a lot. In fact, it’s been producing genre-blurring, boundary-testing films for decades. But Korea didn’t just suddenly start cranking out high-quality movies in the last decade.
If that wasn’t made clear by Parasite ’s historic Best Picture win at the 2019 Oscars, then the unprecedented success of Netflix’s Squid Game solidified the country’s standing at the vanguard of the entertainment industry. At this point, South Korea is well-known among even casual filmgoers as one of the world’s most exciting movie industries.
