Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

there's been something of a mini run on films akin to much of what third window licenses. probably a good half dozen potentials each year for the last five years or so. at least, that's how i've...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

i don't stop by here often any more, but flixtime's reviews are really useful.

tend to find online reviewers for asian stuff are a little too likely to be fairly fresh to what they're watching,...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

not a comment on flixtime's review above, but, having watched the film now, i'd say it's a brave person who feels capable of treading around the risk of looking distinctly dodgy for reviewing a film...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

the aspect of getting to see something on a big screen and relatively early is a draw for me, but, to be honest, i've only ever been to one festival and that was accidental rather than intentional. i...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

one of the major reasons I doubt the true value of most festivals is the need to maintain a certain amount of easy-sells in return for an ongoing returning audience & publicity in a potentially...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

get this feeling that a lot of 'life without principal' relies upon close-quarters knowledge of the state of HK; not the film industry, but the general culture of money and wealth. makes me wonder...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

the point isn't so much that you can learn about culture through watching films, it's more that it's seems logical to suggest it's possible to some extent because it can't be the case that nothing is...

Re: What´s HOT in Asian cinema right now?

buyer beware? well, yes, but how do you become aware of what Asian cinema is or how to understand what you'll get, especially if you're casually picking things in first sight in rental stores? that's...
