5. Re-encounter
One of the most talked about independent films of the year, Re-encounter is a complex film which explores modern connotations of the family unit and even goes so far as to question the definition of the word. Min yong-geun's second film demonstrate the director's commanding but very subtle grasp of the utility of film technique and narrative construction. It is at times harrowing but also eminently watchable, a difficult balance to achieve. What's more, Re-encounter features one of the year's best lead performance from Yoo Da-in who will likely become a big name in the industry in the coming years. A wonderful film from Korea's thriving independent filmmaking scene.
