- DirectorCheol-Mean WhangStarsHeon-Yeop ChooHwang-Geun KimHyeon-joo KimTwo men, locked in a cheap hotel room together with little else but a video camera, struggle to pass the time. Nobody knows who they are or why they're there. The maid thinks they're lovers. The party girl next door thinks they're filmmakers. The truth is far more provocative. As questions of power, politics, and intertwining identities emerge, just who is controlling whom is thrown increasingly into doubt. Whang Cheol Mean, a veteran of the Korean independent film scene, has crafted an intensely engaging film that seems deceptively simple, unfolding to reveal a world of unfathomable complexities.5/10

- DirectorDong-hoon ChoiStarsShin-yang ParkYum Jung-ahBaek Yun-shikOne month has passed since CHOI Chang-Hyuk's release from jail after being convicted for fraud, but this time he's cooked up an elaborate plan: the biggest bank heist in history. The best five thieves come together to form a team: CHOI Chang-Hyuk, the brain behind the perfect plan; Master KIM, the godfather of swindlers; Big Mouth, a guy who can talk people into anything; Swallow, a remarkable lady-killer; and Gasoline, who has a gift for counterfeiting. The only drawback is that none of them can trust one another. They have only one goal: to hit a bank for 5 billion won ($5 million)--but each one of them has his own plan in mind.5/10
- DirectorYôichi SaiStarsTakeshi KitanoHirofumi AraiTomoko TabataIn 1923, the Korean teenager Kim Shun-Pei moves from Cheju Island, in South Korea, to Osaka, in Japan. Along the years, he becomes a cruel, greedy and violent man and builds a factory of kamaboko, processed seafood products, in his poor Korean-Japanese community exploiting his employees. He makes fortune, abuses and destroys the lives of his wife and family, having many mistresses and children and showing no respect to anybody. Later he closes the factory, lending the money with high interests and becoming a loan shark. His hatred behavior remains until his last breath, alone in North Korea.6/10
