★★★☆☆
King the Land is a glossy K-drama office romance between a hotel heir and a relentlessly smiling employee, carried by its leads rather than its thin plotting.
★★★★½
Kingdom sets a zombie plague in Korea's Joseon era and fuses palace intrigue with relentless horror, a lavish, politically sharp series that reinvents the undead.
★★★★☆
KinnPorsche is the Thai BL mafia series that became a global event, a violent, sexy crime romance powered by Mile and Apo's chemistry, if sprawling in its plotting.
★★★½☆
Klondike is Maryna Er Gorbach's stark Ukrainian war drama about a pregnant woman who refuses to leave her Donbas home in July 2014. Rigorous, bleak and haunting.
★★★★½
Kung Fu Hustle is Stephen Chow's anarchic martial-arts comedy, a live-action cartoon set in a 1940s slum that doubles as a loving tribute to kung fu cinema.
★★★☆☆
Kung Fu Jungle pits Donnie Yen against a killer who hunts martial-arts masters. The duels are superb; the police thriller wrapped around them is routine.
★★★½☆
Kupu Malam is a short, adult Indonesian drama about a student secretly working as an escort, frank and well acted even when its melodrama runs hot.
★★★★½
La Dolce Vita is Federico Fellini's Palme d'Or-winning portrait of a Roman gossip columnist adrift among celebrities and parties, still dazzling and unsettling.
★★★★½
La Haine follows three young friends through one tense day in a Paris banlieue after a riot. Mathieu Kassovitz's black-and-white drama has lost none of its charge.
★★★★☆
Laapataa Ladies is Kiran Rao's gentle Hindi comedy about two veiled brides swapped on a train in rural India, and a quietly sharp satire of how women are seen.
★★★★☆
Lady Vengeance closes Park Chan-wook's Vengeance Trilogy with Lee Young-ae as a woman freed after 13 years in prison. It is his coolest and most morally searching.
★★★★½
Lagaan is Ashutosh Gowariker's Oscar-nominated epic in which Aamir Khan leads a drought-hit village against its British rulers in a cricket match. Grand and rousing.
★★★½☆
LaRoy, Texas is Shane Atkinson's darkly comic crime thriller about a hapless man mistaken for a hitman, lifted by John Magaro and Steve Zahn's sharp performances.
★★★★½
Laskar Pelangi karya Riri Riza mengangkat novel Andrea Hirata tentang sepuluh murid dan guru mereka di Belitung: drama sekolah yang hangat, lucu, dan mengharukan.
★★★★☆
Late Night with the Devil stages a possession story as a lost 1977 talk-show broadcast, with David Dastmalchian superb as a host desperate for ratings.
★★★★½
Lawrence of Arabia is David Lean's Oscar-winning desert epic about T. E. Lawrence in the First World War, a spectacle that doubles as a study of a troubled hero.
★★★½☆
Layangan Putus is the Indonesian infidelity drama that became a national talking point, uneven as television but gripping thanks to Putri Marino and Reza Rahadian.
★★★☆☆
Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen casts Donnie Yen as Bruce Lee's famous hero, now a masked vigilante in Shanghai. Stylish fights, flimsy story.
★★★½☆
Leo is Lokesh Kanagaraj's Tamil crime thriller starring Vijay as a Himachal café owner whose peaceful life is shattered by a drug cartel. Stylish but uneven.
★★★★½
Léon: The Professional is Luc Besson's stylish New York thriller about a lonely hitman and the orphaned girl he takes in, starring Jean Reno and Natalie Portman.
★★★½☆
Lesbian Space Princess is a scrappy Australian animated comedy in which a sheltered princess sets out to rescue her bounty-hunter ex. Silly, raunchy and sincere.
★★★★★
Life Is Beautiful is Roberto Benigni's Oscar-winning fable of a Jewish Italian father who shields his son from a Nazi camp through humour. Daring and devastating.
★★★★☆
Life on Mars sends a 2006 Manchester detective back to 1973, a witty, inventive BBC police drama that uses time travel to ask what good policing really means.
★★★★☆
Like Water for Chocolate is Alfonso Arau's magical-realist Mexican romance about a woman forbidden to marry, whose cooking carries her feelings to all who eat it.
