With this year's Toronto International Film Festival just around the corner, I feel like I've finished up last year's housecleaning with the Greencine publication of my interview with Lee Kang Sheng, secured at last year's TIFF where Help Me Eros touched down on North American soil. As I outline in my intro to the Greencine interview, Lee Kang Sheng's sophomore feature has not fared well with critics and distributors; but, praise needs to go out to Strand Releasing for bravely picking up the film for DVD distribution.
Of related interest is Twitch teammate Ard Vijn's review of Help Me Eros and interview with Lee Kang Sheng conducted earlier this year at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.

Judging by the similarities between the two interviews (and several others I saw pop up after his appearance in Rotterdam) Lee Kang Sheng must by now be fed up with answering the same questions over and over again!
:cheese:
Still, good movie and Lee Kang Sheng is always an intersting guy to talk with. He was a bit gloomy during our meeting, but Peter and I managed to get a few laughs out of him.
that's my man from all my fave tsai ming-liang flicks!!!!
