How many other films produced by Asian studios would be ahead of #TheKingofKings after this weekend? #GodzillaMinusOne grossed $57.1mil in N America. #CrouchingTigerHiddenDragon grossed a whopping $128.5mil in 2000 but was an American co-production, I think.

Interesting film, about a Jewish boy who is secretly baptized by a household servant and then taken from his parents by the Catholic Church because he's a Christian now and needs to be raised in the Catholic faith and not according to his parents' Jewish faith. 1/2

"Ingmar Bergman, who is much less dreamlike [than Fellini], perhaps more mysterious but less obviously dreamlike: the dream in 'Wild Strawberries' (1957) is remarkable, it comes very close to what dreams are really like." --- Pier Paolo Pasolini
