Memoir of a Murderer (2017): A retired serial killer who has just been diagnosed with alzheimers realises that there's another serial killer on the loose in his town and tries to stop him at the same time as his memories are fading.

Both of these I would rank among the very best in recent Korean cinema.

Watched The Truth Beneath last night with the wife.
Wow! Just... wow!
What a ride.
Great story. Insane editing.
Loved it. Can’t wait to rewatch it.
Quite possibly Son Ye-jin’s best performance to date. She’s remarkable in this one.
Enough talk: All Korean film aficionados need to see this one ASAP.
