Synopsis

In 1970s Hollywood, Detective Philip Marlowe tries to help a friend who is accused of murdering his wife.

Cinema Atlas Connection
The Long Goodbye has a very naturalistic style of dialogue, and the camerawork is also very naturalistic and free-moving. I think this really influenced Memories of Murder, where I tried to achieve a similar feel with the camerawork and the actors.
