Based on the heretofore forgotten story of a true kidnapping case in 1978 in Busan, “The Classified File” stars Kim Yun-seok as detective Gong Gil-yong who is beseeched by a distraught couple to help them find their missing child, and Yoo Hae-jin in an against-type role as the idiosyncratic fortune teller Kim Jung-san, who is enlisted by the frustrated detective to help locate the child as a desperate last measure. While the detective is initially skeptical about the psychic’s supposed abilities, the two individuals work furiously against the clock to save an innocent life. Directed by Kwak Kyung-taek.
Elephant Song
Following the mysterious disappearance of a psychiatrist (Colm Feore) at a mental institution, Dr. Toby Green (Bruce Greenwood) is assigned the responsibility to find out what happened to his colleague. At the hospital, he encounters the charismatic and shrewd yet deeply troubled youth, Michael Aleen (Xavier Dolan), who slowly manipulates the intrigued doctor into a complex and disquieting mind game, with ominously heartbreaking consequences. Directed by Charles Biname.
Perfect Proposal
Loosely based on the 1964 Sean Connery-helmed British crime thriller "Woman of Straw," "Perfect Proposal" stars Im Soo-jung as Ji-yeon, a woman who is betrayed by a close friend and subsequently saddled with an astronomic debt, and Yoo Yeon-seok as Sung-ryeol, the enigmatic secretary of a Macau-based casino group mogul who approaches Ji-yeon with a beguiling and highly lucrative proposition. When love interferes in the way of business, however, the two characters must reevaluate the costs of their mercenary scheme. Directed by Yoon Jae-gu.
The Trip to Italy
As a continuation of the wildly successful television series, "The Trip," Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon return as Steve and Rob, respectively, colleagues and reluctant friends who are both tasked to tour the best restaurants on the coast of Italy for the Observer on an all-expenses-paid trip. While the film may not necessarily appeal to moviegoers looking for an explosive and volatile plot or adrenaline junkies, "The Trip to Italy" centers on the sometimes witty, sometimes downright asinine banter between two friends as they meander through the idyllic Italian landscape and enjoy the most sumptuous and delectable meals that the country has to offer. Directed by Michael Winterbottom.
Child 44
Based on the novel of the same name, "Child 44" is set during Stalin's brutal Soviet regime in the early 1950s. Tom Hardy portrays Ministry of State Security Agent Leo Demidov, who has been banished from the capital with his wife, Raisa (Noomi Rapace), for investigating a series of child murders, a crime that supposedly does not exist in the Soviet Union, as dictated by state doctrine. Exiled to the provincial outskirts and dissolved of his official duties, Demidov decides to further probe into the sinister matter. Directed by Daniel Espinosa.
