Mushishi

rhwinter — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 07:14:49 +0000

When Katsushiro Otomo does something, we watch. But this time around he is going into new grounds, so watch out: Mushishi is his first live action feature, but contains elements seen on his previous animations, such as heroes, fantasy and lots of SFX. The movie was named Bugmaster for english-speaking audiences, but Mushishi sounds much better. Check out the trailer:

If you are lucky enough to be in Sundance, go watch it. And, if you are interested, some more information has popped up before.

I Met the Walrus

If there is one thing a documentary must do is deal with something that draws attention so that people get interested (well, maybe not). The trailer for “I Met the Walrus” did exactly that to me. The thing is: “in 1969, the 14-year-old Jerry Levita, armed with a reel-to-reel tape recorder, snuck into John Lennons’ hotel room for a chat”.

However interesting the trailer seems, I’m not sure I’d like to spend hours watching this and still stay interested (as is usually the case with really good documentaries).

I’m A Cyborg, But That’s O.K.

Those who know Park Chan-Wook are very aware that what he accomplishes with colour, camera and, not least, his scripts is unparalleled. His so-called ‘Vengeance Trilogy’ (Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) has one of the best movies in recent years, with Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, undoubtedly one of the best movies last year. For those lucky enough to be in Berlin between the 8th and the 18th of February, “I’m a Cyborg, but that’s o.k.”, his new movie, will be competing on the 57a Berlinale.The trailer, as expected, is great.
