Chungking Express
This 1994 film weaves together two distinct and interconnected stories set against the backdrop of Hong Kong's chaotic streets
Decision To Leave
Decision To Leave is a ‘cool’ film; it is Film Noir. Oddly though, l laughed more than you would expect for such a film and that is not a bad thing. Decision To Leave is consistently in tension; both drama and comedy, edgy and cliché, romance and thriller, all the time dancing between boundaries of genres but never bound by one.
Drive My Car
Drive My Car is sticky. It sticks to you. It stays with you. It keeps reminding you of its presence. It is strange to say this because it is minimal and at times vacant. It seems like it should be long forgotten but like memories, it ‘sticks to you’.
Warm Bodies
I like Zombie movies. Done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, l’ve heard all the criticism before so don’t bother arguing with me. A good Zombie flick is a little (or a lot) on the edge, not quite a Horror film. For some reason, Horror freaks me out but a Zombie film is the right balance of Suspense, Drama, Fantasy and in the case of Warm Bodies, Romance. Oooohhh, the Holy Grain; Romance and Zombies.
Twinkle Twinkle
With Covid lock down time on my hands and now having watched a few Korean films and TV series, l thought l’d share some of those actors that have immediately struck a chord with this novice Korean film and TV fan.
