The latest #NYAFF 2021 review is up @vcinemashow. It's from Jason @filmnohito and it's an expertly edited version of his take on THE FABLE: THE KILLER WHO DOESN'T KILL. He says, "action fans are strongly recommended to watch this familiar but fun sequel."

If virtuosos like Bong Joon-Ho, or Park Chan-Wook introduced S.Korean films to the world, it is women directors like Kim Bo-Ra (House of Hummingbird) who hold the key to the future of S.Korean cinema. This cool video introduces some of the rising stars.

"a timely and thought-provoking drama that offers a genuinely new perspective on the Me Too movement... It’s an important film which will hopefully gain traction beyond the festival circuit"

My review of Koji Fukada's THE REAL THING is online @vcinemashow. It plays as part of @PacArtsMovement's Spring Showcase, which runs from April 23 to May 2.
It's an addictive drama thanks to its twisting story. You just have to binge-watch it!

JUNK HEAD is a sci-fi stop-motion animation that is taking Japan by storm. There's so much imagination, creativity and humour in this dystopian action adventure. You can watch the opening 10 minutes of the film via this video until the end of May.

My review of Oudai Kojima's crime drama @JOINT2020 is on @vcinemashow. Saw it at #OAFF2021 and was gripped by the strong atmosphere and the convincing performances of the cast. Highly recommend this true crime drama which looks and feels real! @oaffpress

Over @vcinemashow is my review of @gokanuyyy's "Gotō-san" which I saw @oaffpress. The set-up of living in an internet cafe held a mysterious atmosphere. Hiding behind this quirky facade is a bleak ending. Those shots of Covid-hit Tokyo are haunting.

My review of Akihiko @Jam8Eye Yano's powerful family drama "yes, yes, yes" is @vcinemashow. Amidst the tragedy is a really moving story about embracing life and those around you and it features phenomenal acting. It was a highlight of #OAFF2021 @oaffpress

THE SLUG is at #OAFF2021 and I recommend it. I was moved to tears many times by its story of someone learning to overcome a lifetime of othering by those around her. Happiness, sadness, and magic make up this memorable movie! Review @vcinemashow @oaffpress
