Hirokazu Koreeda’s “Broker”
Beautiful and complex yet tender story of family and human connections that touches on hefty concepts while being extremely engaging dented slightly by its denouement

Park Chan-Wook’s “Decision to Leave”
Subtly but masterfully crafted visual storytelling in the same vein as Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” is a mystery of human emotion and motivation whose narrative burns a sinewy path from beginning to end
