小城之春
Chamber drama · Station 9.4
A wife, an ill husband, and an old friend share a ruined house after the war. Almost nothing “happens”, and the film is still the one Chinese directors name.

War · Station 9.2
The film that made Hollywood look at the First World War from the losing side. It still plays as a warning, not as a costume picture.

오발탄
Postwar realism · Station 8.6
Two brothers in postwar Seoul run out of ways to stay decent. The film was too frank for the government of the day, which is why it still matters.
