asian cinema: nowhere to hide

we watched an excellent korean movie nowhere to hide in our today's lecture. i was actually suprised that the movie was so good in the end.

i was reading the director's interview last night and it was just a total piece of wank. i can't stand artists who try to talk up their work with bs. i mean, this guy is explaining how he has this buddhist approach to making movies and how he has to close his eyes till his mind goes totally blank and then let the scene come to him. what a load of crap.

but the movie was brilliant, playful, clever and visually so very, VERY beautiful. oh, and funny. absolutely hilarious.

i have to get my hands on this one and see it again. i strongly recommend this movie.
