Last week, we covered the local directors who dominate the New York Film Festival, but the festival is also stacked with breakout films from overseas: Catch (clockwise from top left) 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days, Cristian Mungiu’s Cannes prize winner, set during Romania’s Ceausescu regime; I Just Didn’t Do It, Masayuki Suo’s biggest success since Shall We Dance; Persepolis, which animates Marjane Satrapi’s hit graphic novel; and Lee Chang-dong’s Secret Sunshine, adding fuel to the already scorching blaze that is Korean cinema.
