Let us know which movies we missed in the comments below or on Facebook. We could have gone on for several more, but 64 is our magic number. Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father.I would suggest you get all your friends together for a movie marathon, but next thing I know you'll be blaming me because no one wants to come to your depressing parties. I have lovingly linked each one of these to their profile on the Internet Movie Database because I am a glutton for punishment. Technically, not all these movies are about grief and loss, but they all depict elements of the emotional struggles around death, dying, grief, and bereavement. So, get out your Blockbuster cards log onto Netflix because, together with our readers, we've compiled a list of 64 movies about grief and loss. We got a ton of response and the movies were so different and diverse, which of course is no surprise because grief is so unique from person to person. This post sparked a conversation in our Facebook community about what movies (if any) resonate with our readers and their grief experience. Last week Litsa wrote this post about how grief is often (not always) unrealistically portrayed in the movies. In the clip above, critic Darcy Paquet speaks with Bong Joon-ho about the research that went into constructing the profile of the killer as they were portrayed in the film, the emotional strain of filming some of Memories of Murders’ most harrowing scenes, and his complicated reaction to the news of Lee Chun-jae’s confession.Ĭriterion will release the 4K edition of Bong Joon-ho’s Memories of Murder on April 20, and it can be purchased via Amazon or the Criterion store.Lists, Grief in Pop Culture, 64 Things, Grief in Movies This week, Criterion will release a new 4K digital restoration of Memories of Murder, complete with extra dvd features including commentary tracks, interviews with admirers such as Guillermo del Toro, and interviews with the director himself.

Memories of Murder is an emotionally taut and exquisitely plotted crime thriller that encompasses many if not all of the aesthetic touchstones that would go on to become Bong’s signature across his later films: darkly comedic undertones, evocative cinematography, and impressive blocking. As the stress of the case wears on and the bodies pile up, Seo (Kim Sang-kyung) and Park (Song Kang-ho) are pushed to their brink by a desperate search to bring the killer to justice.
