Went out with a high note at this year’s CIFF. “Dao” is over three hours long, at least partially improvised, and has an organic breeziness that is hard to replicate.
I think the premise of “Head to Head” is very promising and the film-within-a-film-within-a-film structure is very intriguing. But I don’t think the film goes beyond the surface level. The white-hot anger is palpable but there’s not much else.
