Bangkok Revenge / Rebirth (2011)
Action | Drama
It's 1990, and the child, Manit, has just witnessed the killing of his parents by corrupt cops. Shot at point-blank range, Manit survives, but with a bullet in his skull that prevents him from experiencing emotion. With his fighting chops and emotional dysfunction, Manit is efficient, albeit with his extremities, not firearms. He brawls anywhere: a gym, a bar, a subway car, an elevator, a car interior.

Hard Romanticker / Hâdo romanchikkâ (2011)
Drama
Based on director Gu Su-yeon's semi-autobiographical novel, Hard Romanticker is a spectacularly violent gangster movie that delivers its story with equal amounts of style and carnage. Dripping James Dean-like cool, bleach blond Gu (Shôta Matsuda) is a young, cocky Korean-Japanese hoodlum living in Japan. When someone "accidentally" kills the grandmother of a ruthless rival thug, Gu soon finds himself on the receiving end as he becomes the target for bloody, even deadly, revenge. And it doesn't help that the police are on his tail as well. What's a snarly, cigarette-puffing thug to do? With tons of ultra-violence, rampaging youths and nihilistic retribution, Hard Romanticker is a sort of a modern-day A Clockwork Orange – yakuza style!
Starring: Shôta Matsuda, Kento Nagayama, Tokio Emoto, Sei Ashina, Shidô Nakamura

Bullet Collector / Sobiratel pul (2012)
Drama
A stunning, intense tale of a youth lost in an uncaring world, Bullet Collector is the first film from promising director Aleksandr Vartanov. A visual, moody masterpiece, this drama follows the traumas of a wide-eyed 14-year-old boy. He has a terrible home life with a step-father who can barely stand the sight of him. His school life is even worse as bullies torment and attack him with shocking regularity. And his life becomes even more torturous after he is sent to hellish reform school. Prone to day-dreaming about a life where he is loved, fights off his attackers and has a beautiful girlfriend, the reality of an entirely different and terrible life continually shocks him back to reality. Is he just a timid kid destined for abuse or will he gain the strength to fight off his attackers? Recalling the world of Antoine Doinel in François Truffaut's The 400 Blows, this unsettling, visually brilliant drama updates that classic by giving it a nightmarishly Russian spin.
