Prioritize:
South Korea shows that it has a strong film foundation and can make essentially any movies it wants, as long as Koreans keep going to see them. And it looks like people from other parts of the world will also come see them. An interesting, historical epic that is pathetic, but can also be bloody and gritty. Definitely above average.
