Product Description: Bong Joon Ho blows up the police thriller in his breakthrough second feature Based on the true story of a serial killer In his breakthrough second feature, Bong Joon Ho explodes the conventions of the policier with thrillingly subversive, genre-defying results. Based on the true story of a string of serial killings that rocked a rural community in the 1980s, Memories of Murder stars New Korean Cinema icon Song Kang Ho as the local officer who reluctantly joins forces with a seasoned Seoul detective (Kim Sang Kyung) to investigate the crimes—leading each man on a wrenching, yearslong odyssey of failure and frustration that will drive him to the existential edge. Combining a gripping procedural with a vivid social portrait of the everyday absurdity of life under military rule, Bong fashions a haunting journey into ever-deepening darkness that begins as a black-comic satire and ends as a soul-shattering encounter with the abyss.

Cannes Film Festival 2019 Awards: PARASITE Wins Palme D'Or

The 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival is now over, and the coveted Palme d'Or has been awarded to the South Korean satire "Parasite" from acclaimed filmmaker Bong Joon-ho. The decision was unanimous by this year's jury, which was presided by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, and it is the first time in the history of the festival that a South Korean movie receives the Palme d'Or. It's also the second year in a row that the award has gone to an Asian film, after Hirokazu Kore-eda's "Shoplifters" earned the top honor last year.

Inarritu explained the love for "Parasite" at the post-ceremony press conference:

"We all shared the mystery of the unexpected way this film took us through different genres and spoke in a funny, humorous, tender way — with no judgment — of something so relevant and urgent, so global in such a local film, with such a beautiful efficiency of media, and an understanding of what film really is. We were all fascinated when we saw it, and it kept growing and growing: that’s why it was a unanimous decision.".

The Grand Prix award went to French-Senegalese filmmaker Mati Diop for her debut film "Atlantics". Diop is the first black woman director ever to participate in the Cannes competition.

Antonio Banderas won best actor for his performance in Pedro Almodovar's semi-autobiographical "Pain and Glory", while best actress went to British star Emily Beecham for her role in Jessica Hausner's critically divisive sci-fi film "Little Joe".

The Jury Prize was shared by both Ladj Ly's drama "Les Miserables" and Juliano Dornelles and Kleber Mendonça Filho's weird western "Bacurau".

Two-time Palme d'Or winners Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne took home the award for best director for the disturbing teen drama "Young Ahmed". The screenplay award went to French writer-director Celine Sciamma for the lesbian-themed period film "Portrait of a Lady on Fire".
