Burning
South Korean director Lee Chang-dong has won numerous awards for this tantalising thriller expanded from Haruki Murakami's short story Barn Burning. Aspiring writer Lee Jong-su (Yoo Ah-in) meets former classmate Shin Hae-mi (Jeon Jong-seo) and they reminisce about the past over dinner before she leaves for a trip to Africa. Jong-su kindly agrees to take care of her cat in her absence and when Hae-mi returns, Jong-su is disappointed to discover that she has acquired a wealthy and self-confident companion called Ben (Steven Yeun). This potential suitor is an enigma. Jong-su snoops around Ben's apartment and discovers trinkets belonging to other women in a bathroom cabinet. When Hae-mi subsequently vanishes, jealous Jong-su becomes convinced that Ben is responsible.
