Memories of Murder by Bong Joon-Ho - Movie Special

We discuss Memories of Murder, the 2003 Crime-Drama film by Bong Joon-Ho. In rural South Korea, a series of horrifying murders has paralysed and overwhelmed the local police, who are under-resourced and inexperienced in crimes of this scale. Fortunately, a cop from the big city is here to fix everything up and save the small-town cops from themselves. Or so you'd think. We're joined by our editor Cameron Furlong of 2SER's Inquiry as we discuss the film that put the 'Parasite' and 'Snowpiercer' director on the map. We're also joined by author Riley James to talk about her debut crime fiction novel 'The Chilling', its links with classic arctic-horror fiction and the idea of escapism gone wrong. Thank you to Allen & Unwin for arranging our time with Riley at BAD: Sydney Crime Writers Festival, and the festival itself for providing us with media tickets.
