Other notable Asian films include Taiwanese gang drama MONGA, Matsumoto Hitoshi's SYMBOL, Imaizumi Koichi's THE FAMILY COMPLETE and Sabu's KANIKOSEN. I'm also thrilled to see the likes of A TOWN CALLED PANIC, ENTER THE VOID, THE LOVED ONES and the newly restored and remastered prints of Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS and Powell & Pressberger's THE RED SHOES. There's also a great-looking Bruce Lee retrospective. All in all, it's looking pretty awesome.
As ever, I'll be hitting the festival hard (last year I saw 62 films in three weeks) and will do my best to review and keep Twitch updated on all the good stuff. If there is something you can particularly recommend then by all means let me know and I'll do my best to squeeze it in.
The festival site is up and running - link below:
I am definitely going to hit up a few. But it seems a little messy as far as getting tickets. They are screening at all different places and seems like you have to purchase tickets through the outlet that they are playing? I got tickets to The Killer Inside Me through HKTicketting, but there were a couple playing at Cityplaza that I assume you will need to buy through there, but no idea when they would actually be up for sale.
Oh ic, you can buy some through there page with their weird shopping cart.
Did not have that yesterday.
Perhaps a bit off-topic in this thread, but since you mention it in the main article, what's really up with Pang's Dream Home? I think there were some rumours that even Josie Ho got cold feet about it now. Has the delay something to do with securing a mainland release you think, or are there other issues?
