HIFF film recommendations?

I'm thinking of going to the Hawaii International Film Festival. I wonder if anybody has seen any of the following South Korean films and can suggest ones that are must-sees or must-not-sees. I think The Housemaid, Dooman River, and The Actresses are the only ones I've heard of.

• 71: Into the Fire (포화속으로)

• The Actresses (여배우들)

• Carancho (까란초)

• Dooman River (두만강)

• The Housemaid (하녀)

• The Man From Nowhere (아저씨)

• The Monster (괴물)

• Poetry (시)

• Woochi (전우치)

• Yogurt Lady (요쿠르트 아줌마)

There may be some good Japanese films, too, as well as Chinese, Taiwanese, etc. Again, any recommendations are welcome. There's a documentary on Chiune Sugihara I may want to see, too.
