really loved this concept! Wish they do another version of it with a different batch!
Imagine kim tae ri, jeon do yeon, kim go eun, son yejin, jeon jong seo, bae doona, kim hye soo and song hye kyo in a single room!

Four Sisters 1985
wish this movie had a run time of 3+ hours, but that would mean I’m wishing all the good things for myself.

Decision to Leave 2022
okay I need a rewatch. Also felt it was fast paced for all the transitions and high standards of filmmaking and editing. Little disappointed that both the leads did not get more time to flush out their emotions for a longer period of time, or was it done deliberately?
an engaging film from the start especially the chemistry between the two shown in extremely sly and subtle ways - almost at times sexually charged conversations to a spontaneous cleaning of…

She, a Chinese 2009
Interesting to see perpectives on what life is for a rural chinese woman who wishes to get out of miserable circumstances and see how the world treats her. any guesses? yes it’s tough out there. huang lu was great in the lead role.

Waikiki Brothers 2001
The highlight or the happiest I felt watching this really depressing film about a South Korean band, was PARK HAE IL!!!

Wife of a Spy 2020
I don’t know which version I saw of this film, but I knew the color grading looked off. wiki says another version with different aspect ratio and grading scale was screened at the festivals.

Shozo, a Cat and Two Women 1956
The short story by junichiro tanizaki was fun, and watching the movie was more fun when you have kyoko kagawa as fukuko in full beach attire for most of the run time. I've always seen her in sad roles or depressing movies. Probably my first comedy film from classic japanese movie era?
Ofcourse her quarrels and lifestyle, along with his mother and ex annoyed Shozo but his love for the cat went above and beyond any human. The ending scenes were both hilarious and pensive.

Before, Now & Then 2022
a lot of things which I liked
> secrets and stories hidden behind indonesias history and how it affected women
> the slow pacing, some of the scenes with miss ino >>>
> happy salma
> cultural context aided by the immaculate production design
> could pick out positive references from other directors ( taiwanese in terms of how the colonial past and politics had affected transitions of asian family generations, chinese-remember Ann hui’s love after love?)things which could’ve been mellowed down
> guess most modern…

The Vertical Ray of the Sun 2000
scenes did look forced and not spontaneous aimed for that poetic effect but I’m a sucker for such sensuous films and mundane activities involving Asian family households, so here’s your five stars tran anh hung just for every frame being a painting and for casting your beautiful wife Tran nu yen khe.
