1. Voice of Silence
It goes without saying that Voice of Silence should be on your watch list. Not only did the film win many Best Film awards from the new filmmaker, Hong Eui-jeong, Yoo also earned a number of accolades for his dialogue-free performance—his character didn’t speak a single line throughout the film.
The low-budget indie movie follows Tae-in (Yoo) and Chang-bok (Yoo Jae-myung), who sells egg to make ends meet. As a side job, they work as a clean-up crew for a crime organisation. But things change when they received a task to look after an 11-year-old kidnapped girl to who they become attached to.
For his role, Yoo gained over 15 kilograms, shaved his head and watched gorilla videos in order to use more body language to communicate. Besides his Best Actor win at the Asian Film Awards, he also brought home prizes from the Blue Dragon Film Awards, Baeksang Arts Awards, Fantasia International Film Festival and Buil Film Awards.
