To be honest, that's a pretty good list already! Two of my favourite movies that haven't been listed yet, the first by Lee Chang-dong and the second by Park Chan-wook. Decision to Leave is a masterpiece in my opinion. I've seen it 20+ times because I teach a Korean cinema class and it gets better every time Burning (๋ฒ„๋‹ [2018]) Decision to Leave (ํ—ค์–ด์งˆ ๊ฒฐ์‹ฌ [2022])
