Kim Tae-Yong, Min Kyu-Dong

Director

Kim Tae-Yong and Min Kyu-Dong are South Korean film directors who co-directed the 1999 film Memento Mori, known for blending melodrama and horror and for its depiction of a lesbian relationship.

Memento Mori (1999) is the second film in the Whispering Corridors series; it foregrounds a tragic lesbian relationship set in an all-girls high school and mixes melancholic melodrama with restrained horror motifs.

A close, admiring reading of Memento Mori that highlights its blend of melancholic melodrama and subtle horror. The review praises the film's emotional density, visual invention, and its critique of homophobia and social cruelty. The reviewer recommends the film as a must-see.

For:Fans of Korean cinema, arthouse and melodrama, LGBT-themed films, and viewers who like psychological horror blended with emotional drama.

 "Memento Mori" is a ferocious work, where man's evils (Homophobia, Xenophobia, Ambition, Jealousy) are crudely examined.
