well, since you liked that film (which is based off a bunraku puppet play, as you know and mentioned) I think you'll enjoy Shinoda's Double Suicide a great deal more than I did (perhaps my most hated "art-house" film I've yet seen... what a piece of crap :lol:

)

Is that last comment supposed to be a sort of nudge intogetting me to see something by Hong?

Either way, I want to know what you think I should see by him first.

No. If it were directed to anyone (and it wasn't) it be directed to Mr. Panda. Woman on the Beach seems like a good starting point.

Have you seen Woman is the Future of Man? I'm gonna see it first since your suggestion isn't available on netflix.

Yeah, that's probably a better place to start.

I think I would kill to see this Yamanaka. Only have seen Humanity and Paper Balloons and it made a believer out of me.

I can't wait for subs of his other remaining film to appear. It's got a (sexy) 16 year old Setsuko Hara in it!

just saw when a woman ascends the stairs today. YAY! love it.

yep, me too. I thought it had the same feel (not themes) as Tokyo Story but I liked it much, much better.

I should really get around to watching Humanity and Paper Ballons. I'm a bad person for not having watched it yet.

Really wish you wouldn't throw terms like "masterpiece" around so loosely, especially when you refer to films you gave an 8.75/10 or whatever.

Also, since you like Aoi Miyazaki, you should try and check out Eli, Eli, Lema Sabachthani? Just read about it and tell me it does not sound awesome.

lucky: that's because I'm trying to make my grading system more difficult. They're sort of arbitrary anyway.

ooh jealous. although I might not see it cuz of Norah Jones. I'll read your review tho.

by **lucky** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 3:21 am

Even with your review and wkw's advice not to go see it (over at the deux), I think I'll still watch it, if only for my completionist tendencies.

Yeah, that's actually why I watched it too. Heh.

You are completely right about My Blueberry Nights, definetly his weakest effort. I have to admit i still enjoyed it a great deal, just because of the visual style it was presented in.
