With autumn in full swing, the Baltimore Korean Movie Series presents the psychological thriller Memoir of A Murderer(살인자의 기억법), part of the Korean Cultural Center's regional outreach of free film screenings in Baltimore, in partnership with the Maryland Film Festival.

Based on a bestselling fiction book by author Kim Young-ha. Memoir of A Murderer asks us to step inside the mind of someone who is losing his memory, a sufferer of Alzheimer’s disease. The movie opens with a scene focusing on the face of a gaunt and aged-looking single dad Kim Byung-soo(Sol Kyung-gu)

When a series of murders occur near his town, Byung-su gets worried whether the killings are his doings during his memory lapses. But then, he comes across Tae-ju (KIM Nam-gil) and instinctively realizes that he’s the serial killer. He reports this to the police, only to learn that Tae-ju is one. Byung-su tries to find firm evidence that Tae-ju is a psychopath, only to raise Tae-ju’s interest on him and his daughter. And now with his memory slipping, Byung-su must find a way to protect his daughter from Tae-ju.

This film is not rated. 118 mins. In Korean with English subtitles. Light Korean food will be provided at 6:30 p.m. just before the film is screened.
