In 1986 Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, after two women are found raped and murdered, Seoul detective Seo Tae-yoon is brought in to help local detective Park Doo-man with the investigation. As more bodies are found, the pair realise they have a serial killer on their hands.
Inspired by true events, Bong Joon Ho’s sophomore feature blends true-crime with social satire and even comedy is his typically masterful fashion.
