Headed to the theaters this weekend? The Korea Herald offers a guide to the latest films to hit the big screen in Korea.

Mood of the Day (Korea)
Romantic comedy. Directed by Cho Ku-jang

Opened Jan. 14

Su-jeong (Moon Chae-won) and Jae-hyeon (Yoo Yeon-seok) are two strangers who find themselves as seat neighbors on a train to Busan. The confident, suave Jae-hyeon is attracted to Su-jeong, and proposes a one-night stand -- but she won’t have any of it. Will he be able to convince her to come over to his side?


The Revenant (U.S.)
Western. Directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

Opened Jan. 14

From the director of “Birdman,” “The Revenant” takes viewers to the wild wilderness of America’s Midwest in the 1820s, where a frontiersman named Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is left for dead by his hunting team after a bear attack. Glass survives his injuries, and sets off to get revenge on John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy), the man who betrayed him.



The Good Dinosaur (U.S.)
Animation. Directed by Peter Sohn

Opened Jan. 7

The latest release from Disney-Pixar follows the story of Arlo, a young apatosaurus, who must find his way home after he becomes separated from his family. The timid and clumsy Arlo tries to muster up the courage to overcome obstacles along the way, and finds an unlikely friend in a small human boy whom he names Spot.


Youth (Italy)
Drama. Directed by Paolo Sorrentino

Opened Jan. 7

Light on plot but thoughtful and visually stunning, Italian director Paolo Sorrentino’s second English-language film follows two aging artists -- a composer-conductor and a film director -- as they take off together to a Swiss spa, thinking about their youth and their careers.


Remember You (Korea)
Romance, mystery. Directed by Lee Yun-jeong

Opened Jan. 7

After a horrific accident, Seok-won (Jung Woo-sung) suffers from selective amnesia that takes away most of his memories from the past 10 years of his life. While trying to get his life back on track, he meets a mysterious woman named Jin-young (Kim Ha-neul) and falls in love, but he can’t shake the feeling that she’s trying to keep her past as elusive as his own.
