I watched two Asian thrillers the other day, BLACK COAL, THIN ICE (mainland China) and MEMORIES OF MURDER (South-Korea). I'd seen MEMORIES when I found it on a second hand dvd something like 8 years ago. I remember not liking it very much but I reckon it must have been one of those late night viewings, so later you're dozing off, cos this time around I loved it and wanted to watch it again right away (I didn't, though). Incidentally, BLACK COAL turned out to cover a subject that was similar to that of MEMORIES; crappy cops trying to solve a serial murder case. Both films were great. Apparently it's reported that a great deal of Westerners didn't much like BLACK COAL. I guess it was too slow and the plot wasn't spelt out in great detail enough.
