That week-to-week drop is Rsyu, could you recommend me about five (or more) Korean films to see. I have seen Snowpiercer, Train to Busan, Castaway on the Moon - loved them all.

I have seen Snowpiercer, Train to Busan, Castaway on the Moon - loved them all. Mixed in some of the more recent ones 1. The Wailing (2016): 99% fresh on RT if that means anything to you. Hardly any Korean film gets rated on RT. Caution though, the weirdness level of this film is off the charts. 2. Veteran (2015): Highlights very well the problem with "Chaboel" in Korean society and the acting is really good. 3. Miss Granny (2014): Comedy film about a granny who becomes young again after a photo shoot. 4. Luck-key (2016): Sleeper hit from 2016. I found it hilarious but not sure if the humor will strike home for a foreign audience. 5. The Good, the Bad and the weird (2008): Western themed film based in Korea. One of my all time faves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl is a bit of a piece of work though! And hot damn was The Handmaiden really erotic! Really thought it was quite exceptional the way the story unfolded. Loved it As I said before Oldboy was good but really fucked up.
