The Parallel Street (Ferdinand Khittl, 1962, Germany) Documentary/essay film reminiscent of Chris Marker, 70s Godard, or the more recent essay experiments like Krabi 25628/10

Alps (Yorgas Lanthimos, 2011, Greece) The film Lanthimos made between cult favorite Dogtooth and his breakout English language debut The Lobster. This one just fell a bit flat for me relative to his other work. Not sure what; bite, energy, weirdness, but it was missing something. Still worth a look if you're particularly fond of his style. 6/10

Happy Old Year (Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, 2019, Thailand) Quiet, understated film about a young woman struggling to declutter her house after a break-up without much co-operation from her family. Shot with a beautifully austere naturalism, it's another modern film to successfully embrace the academy ratio. 8/10

Way of the Dragon (1972)
My second Bruce Lee movie. His sound effects slay me.

 Loved it. Although I also really liked Aparajito and The World of Apu, this is probably the most engrossed I've been in a film of its type since Pather Panchali. Highly recommended. |

Cafe Noir (Jung Sung-il, 2009, South Korea) Rewatch One of my favorite discoveries of recent years and probably my favorite Korean film (apologies to Hong Sang-soo). The only narrative feature by writer/critic Jung (he's also made a couple of documentaries). It certainly comes off like he's put everything into this one project, epic and ambitious yet very personal and singular. Running almost 3 1/2 hours, loosely based on Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther and Dostoyevsky's White Nights (I've admittedly not read either), and full of bold stylistic indulgences. A visionary piece of work. Currently available on YouTube9/10

 The Untold Story (Herman Yau, 1993) A notorious Hong Kong Cat III film about a man who murders a restaurant owner and his family, takes control of the restaurant trying to find someone to sell it to, but keeps it open in the meantime by killing anyone who figures it out and serves them in pork buns. It's disturbing to say the least, but effective for the most part. 7/10 |
