ny asian film festival: fin

the new york asian film festival, ie: my week+ of seeing a film every night, has come to an end.

in a word it was a BLAST. I was glad I made a conscious decision to watch as many of the films as I could.

as expected linda linda linda kicked ass. I'm definitely going to get a copy of it even if it's going to be like $40 + shipping. I read that the bootlegs out there don't have english subs so keep that in mind if you're looking for one...

what else did I like? well there was that whole lovefest over it's only talk, my obsession over shinobi, the absolute absurdity and hilarity that was ski jumping pairs: road to torino, the innocent love story of a feather in the wind, the highly stylized korean revenge drama a bittersweet life, and pacchigi!: a tale of 60's japan that involves a romeo & juliet-esque romance of a japanese boy and a korean girl, gang fights, and a country awakening to freedom.

can't wait till next year's.
