if you like sadistic house parties, i think? (haven't seen it, read the book)
― the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 13 May 2015 10:57 (eight years ago) link
Comfort of Strangers didn't seem all that special at the time - the Venetian setting and air of menace couldn't help but bring to mind Don't Look Now, to which it is markedly inferior - but I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually aged quite well. Pinter screenplay, iirc.

Perf Arts Library, Sat at 2:30:
When sound arrived, the folks at Roach sometimes looked back at their silent output for ideas for new productions. Two fascinating side-by-side examples are films in which both Laurel & Hardy appear in both the originals and the sound remakes! Our line-up includes DUCK SOUP ('27) and ANOTHER FINE MESS ('30), plus CHICKENS COME HOME ('31) and LOVE ‘EM AND WEEP ('27)!

I would really like to see Chasuke's Journey. Yeah, City on Fire is good. Tokyo Tribe is a must see as well, batshit crazy, though I preferred Why Don't You Play In Hell.

do any of you have a subscription to the paper version of cahiers du cinema? if so i have a question.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Friday, 26 June 2015 16:39 (eight years ago) link
i didn't realize aaron kwok was in town and at both last night and today's screening of port of call :(
― 龜, Saturday, 27 June 2015 19:34 (eight years ago) link
i understand city on fire's influence but it's not a great film
'full alert' was full stop great and i hope a blu ray gets released at some point
― 龜, Monday, 29 June 2015 00:23 (eight years ago) link
couldn't make it to full alert, sadly. were you at city on fire? ringo lam sat right in front of me! until he bailed after the shower scene
i think the stuff that city on fire does right (stylish bits, danny lee) outweighs the bad stuff (tonal insanity)
― adam, Monday, 29 June 2015 21:34 (eight years ago) link
tonal insanity kind of comes w/ that era of HK movies though. do you not like john woo either?
school on fire is even better than city on fire IMO.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 29 June 2015 22:55 (eight years ago) link
speaking of tonal insanity, i just re-watched "8 diagram pole fighter." man, does that film have some mood swings. it's also kind of the ne plus ultra of one kind of kinetic filmmaking. i think i'll watch it again tonight.
― wizzz! (amateurist), Monday, 29 June 2015 22:56 (eight years ago) link
i still am waiting for world film culture to catch up w/ HK action cinema. i know it's a big deal and has been for a while, but it still seems very "niche." maybe that's all it'll ever be.
for example on that sight & sound poll from a few years back barely any critics mentioned films by lau kar-leung, cheng cheh, tsui hark, etc. -- even king hu (the wu xia director who everyone likes) didn't really make a strong showing.
