[Problem] To provide a highly heat resistant resin composition which exhibits good tackiness at low temperatures less than or equal to 180 C., and whose production of a volatile portion due to decomposition or the like is small even at high temperatures greater than or equal to 250 C., and whose increase in adhesive force is small even after passage through a heat treatment step, and therefore which allows a base material to be easily peeled off at room temperature when the base material is to be peeled off, and a cured membrane and a laminate film that employ this resin composition. [Solution Means] A resin composition containing a polyimide-based resin and a methylol-based compound, the resin composition being characterized in that the polyimide-based resin has an acid dianhydride residue and a diamine residue, and has as the diamine residue at least a residue of a polysiloxane-based diamine represented by General formula (1) and a residue of an aromatic diamine having a hydroxyl group, and a cured product and a laminate film that employ this resin composition. ##STR00001##
