MEMENTO MORI


Yeogo Goedam II (a.k.a. Memento Mori) is a 1999 South Korean thriller film directed by Kim Tae-yong and Min Kyu-dong. Although the Korean name of the movie suggests that it is a sequel to the 1998 Yeogo Goedam (a.k.a. Whispering Corridors), the movies are totally unrelated, and only share their name.

The movie tells the story of the girls in a female-only Korean school. The movie focuses in the lesbian relationship of two of the students and the many situations surrounding their relation including pregnancy, suicide and ghost apparitions. The movie offers no linear event sequence, often from the point of view of Soh Min-Ah one of the couple's classmates who happens to find their diary and starts having hallucinations about the two lesbian girls and their vicissitudes.
