Past year's:
WARSAW KOREAN FILM FESTIVAL
비밀의 언덕 (THE HILL OF SECRETS)
Recommended. South Korean 1996 is colourful. The movie sees the world from a child's perspective as she manoeuvres her position within a group, it presents her perspective of her family members. This warm family movie is truly engaging and touching.
공조2: 인터내셔날 (CONFIDENTIAL ASSIGNMENT 2: INTERNATIONAL)
Watchable. The first 25 minutes in NYC and Seoul are incomprehensible, especially if you haven't seen part 1. A South Korean, a North Korean and an American fight and cooperate, always followed by secret agents, in this action comedy full of stunts, but also cinephile jokes like a girl in love who "always sees him in slow mo" or political gags, e.g. the North Korean's flat "is owned by the party" and the South Korean's by the bank - "same here". Fun, alluding to other films music: "We No Speak Americano" from "Peter Rabbit" or the melody of "What a Life" from "Another Round" make it quite enjoyable.
SLOTHERHOUSE
Watchable. It's a black comedy about a college sorority rivalry and it's not what you expect because the sloth doesn't rip people with her claws, or at least rarely does. Instead she electrocutes, strangles, smothers with a pillow, throws from heights etc. And she uses the Internet. Or holds and opens a beer bottle with the claws. The sloth looks fake. But the whole thing is happy-go-lucky fun. There's a mid-credit and lots of sloth gifs along the end credits.
