Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter...and Spring // 봄 여름 가을 겨울 그리고 봄 (2003) Directed by Kim Ki-duk // 김기덕
Spring... Karma: A mischievous child awakens karma through cruelty.
Spring, and life is emerging from its slumber. A child laughs innocently, hanging stones from frogs, snakes, and fish throughout the rivers and the trees. However, Roh-seung was watching him, and while the child was sleeping, Awakens to find a rock tied to his back. When the child wakes up crying and complaining that it is heavy, Roh-seung says that if he fails to reverse his actions, it will be his lifelong karma.
Summer... Desire: A boy with eyes open to love, learns of obsession.
When the child grows up and becomes a 17-year-old boy, a girl of the same age comes to the Sansa Temple for medical treatment. The boy's heart fills with a passionate love for the girl, and Roh Seung also senses their love. After the girl's departure, the boy who couldn't shake the obsession of deepening love leaves the mountain temple...
Autumn... Anger: A man who embraces murder, falls in pain.
Ten years have passed and the boy, now a man, returns to Sansa temple after after his wife betrays him. Unable to overcome the anger and pain that burns as red as the autumn leaves, he tries to commit suicide in front of the Buddha, he fails and gets punished. The man takes care of his heart by engraving the half-night sentiment written by Roh Seung on the floor... In the serene Sansa Temple where the man left, Roh Seung plays the Dabi Ceremony.
Winter... Empty (公): A middle-aged man who feels meaningless, seeks inner peace.
The man returns to the ruins of the mountain temple, now middle aged. He spends his days seeking inner peace while making an ice Buddha statue, training his mind and body in the winter mountain temple. One day a women visits the temple where she leaves her child...
And spring... The four seasons of a new life begin.
The middle aged man, now old, is spending a peaceful spring day in Sansa with Dong Ja-seung, who has now grown up. Dong Ja-seung, like the child of the spring, is playing a joke of putting a boulder in the mouths of frogs and snakes, bursting with a bright laughter. (Synopsis by Daum)

Secret Sunshine // 밀양 (2007) Directed by Lee Chang-dong // 이창동
Renowned Korean filmmaker Lee Chang Dong, the director of Green Fish, Peppermint Candy, and Oasis, returns to the director's chair in 2007 with the critically acclaimed Secret Sunshine. This is his fourth film, and his first directorial work since his stint as Minister of Culture and Tourism from 2003 to 2004. In addition to Lee's long-awaited return, Secret Sunshine attracted much attention with its pairing of two of the biggest names in Korean cinema - Song Kang Ho and Jeon Do Yeon, who was named Best Actress at both the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and the 2007 Blue Dragon Film Awards for her amazing performance.
Having recently lost her husband, piano teacher Shin Ae (Jeon Do Yeon) moves to her husband's hometown of Milyang. Still in a fragile state of grief, she takes solace in her friendship with rough-voiced, but kind-hearted local Jong Chan (Song Kang Ho). In love with Shin Ae, he follows her around and helps her settle into her new home. Life abandons Shin Ae once more though when her son is abducted and murdered. She then takes refuge in religion and, devoting herself to Christianity, slowly begins to heal. To find closure, she visits her child's murderer in prison to tell him she has forgiven him, but what he says in reply throws her into a new crisis. (Description and synopsis by yesasia)

Save the Green Planet // 지구를 지켜라 (2003) Directed by Jang Joon-hwan
The most ingenious and touching movie in the history of Korean cinema.
Byeong-gu believes that the Earth will soon be in danger from an alien invasion, so he kidnapps Kang Man-sik, president of Yuje Chemicals, who he believes 100% is an alien, so that he can meet with the Prince of Andromeda. Byeong-gu keeps Man-sik tied up in the basement and subjects him to relentless torture until he is told the truth. Eventually Man-sik manages to free himself and steals the alien data collected by Byeong-gu, and tries to create a plausible story that Byeong-gu will believe, in order to release him. Now victory depends on who can fool the other person...

Memories of Murder // 살인의 추억 (2003) Directed by Bong Joon-ho // 봉준호
Based on the true story of an unresolved criminal investigation, set under military dictatorship.
A brutal serial killer is on the loose, and it's up to two very different homicide detectives to catch him in Memories of Murder, a riveting police procedural from Bong Joon Ho, director of The Host and Mother. Based on an actual series of events that began in 1986, the film centers on a rural cop named Park Do Mang (Song Kang Ho, from The Host and Thirst) and his tense partnership with Inspector Suh Tae Yoon (Kim Sang Kyung, Turning Gate), a big city detective fresh from Seoul.
Detective Park, who'd much rather spend his time beating confessions out of suspects than be forced to do any actual detective work, mocks Suh, telling him that real Korean cops "investigate with their feet," not their intellect. But as the bodies begin to pile up, the two realize they have to reconcile their differences to stop the killer before he strikes again. However, with numerous leads that seemingly go nowhere, is there any chance they'll catch their killer? Or will their unceasing quest for justice actually push these heroes to their absolute breaking point? (Synopsis by yesasia)
