HKIFF starts tomorrow






Hong Kong Film Festival movies because of their rather different slant towards arthouse have always been very special for me. They've had record sales this year and in fact almost all of the shows are sold out. Here's what I'd like to see first (have focused only on the HK flicks themselves by the usual suspects Wong Kar Wai, Derek although there are other countries/genres represented)

You can check out the actual movie descriptions, pictures etc on the site http://www.hkiff.org.hk (Choose the browse films option)

Ashes and time redux - WKW's remake (and it has Tony Leung)
Shinjuku incident - Jackie Chan in a non martial arts role
Shanghai blues - Tsui Harks' take on a love triangle
No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti - Despite it's name it is a chinese movie
