Memories of Murder is a 2003 South Korean crime thriller film co-written and directed by Bong Joon-ho (Director of Parasite). It is loosely based on the true story of Korea's first confirmed serial murders, which occurred between 1986 and 1991 in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. Song Kang-ho (the dad from Parasite) and Kim Sang-Kyung star as Detective Park and Detective Seo, respectively, two of the detectives trying to solve the crimes.

The film has earned critical acclaim for its tone, cinematography, editing, score, Song's performance, and Bong's direction and screenplay. The film received thirty awards and nominations and is considered by many to be one of the best Asian films ever made.
