The latest #NYAFF 2021 review is up @vcinemashow. It's from Jason @filmnohito and it's an expertly edited version of his take on THE FABLE: THE KILLER WHO DOESN'T KILL. He says, "action fans are strongly recommended to watch this familiar but fun sequel." https://t.co/ZJuVthVrfU

My review for LAST OF THE WOLVES went live over @vcinemashow. The intense battle between Tori Matsuzaka and Ryohei Suzuki's characters makes for a riveting ride. It plays @NYAFF later today! #孤狼の血LEVEL2 #NYAFF https://t.co/kxZT8Q6G1o

50th anniversary of @IFFR starts today! Highly recommend to watch Japanese legend director Sadao Yamanaka's most outstanding masterpiece "Tange Sazen and the Pot Worth a Million Ryo"! Its 4K restoration version will be shown in theaters! https://t.co/q5Sb0aicW9

If virtuosos like Bong Joon-Ho, or Park Chan-Wook introduced S.Korean films to the world, it is women directors like Kim Bo-Ra (House of Hummingbird) who hold the key to the future of S.Korean cinema. This cool video introduces some of the rising stars. https://t.co/mKfMK9Cdow

"a timely and thought-provoking drama that offers a genuinely new perspective on the Me Too movement... It’s an important film which will hopefully gain traction beyond the festival circuit" John @mildly_scifi's @vcinemashow review of JUNHO which is @CAAM https://t.co/LipZ2rf4vS

On Wednesday, May 19, @uclachina director Michael Berry (@Bairuiwen) will host “An Evening Conversation with Tsai Ming-liang.” @vcinemashow — https://t.co/9ys4M9IzB1

My review of Koji Fukada's THE REAL THING is online @vcinemashow. It plays as part of @PacArtsMovement's Spring Showcase, which runs from April 23 to May 2. It's an addictive drama thanks to its twisting story. You just have to binge-watch it! https://t.co/tlDNlHCyln

JUNK HEAD is a sci-fi stop-motion animation that is taking Japan by storm. There's so much imagination, creativity and humour in this dystopian action adventure. You can watch the opening 10 minutes of the film via this video until the end of May. https://t.co/G4tIdjocia

And my @oaffpress interview with director Satoko Yokohama is up @vcinemashow. Find out about the making of ITO, from adapting the book to what it was like to film in Aomori, Yokohama's home turf, and how aspects of the place imprint themselves on people. https://t.co/zP2gwjcfjn

My review of Oudai Kojima's crime drama @JOINT2020 is on @vcinemashow. Saw it at #OAFF2021 and was gripped by the strong atmosphere and the convincing performances of the cast. Highly recommend this true crime drama which looks and feels real! @oaffpress https://t.co/QmbGQUTzWN

My interview with director Oudai @denjiroudai Kojima about his film @JOINT2020, featured at #OAFF2021, is @vcinemashow. Great background info, including how the cast features newcomers, stylistic influences, and Japan's criminal underworld @oaffpress https://t.co/GtavqrI2O3

Over @vcinemashow is my review of @gokanuyyy's "Gotō-san" which I saw @oaffpress. The set-up of living in an internet cafe held a mysterious atmosphere. Hiding behind this quirky facade is a bleak ending. Those shots of Covid-hit Tokyo are haunting. https://t.co/zS1BKnRiis

"a remarkable debut on the bittersweet experiential trajectory of children whose gradually expanding perspectives and possibilities are inevitably accompanied by changes that signal the “1st farewells” of childhood"-Rowena Santos Aquino, @vcinemashow Now playing @PlazaAtlanta

My review of Akihiko @Jam8Eye Yano's powerful family drama "yes, yes, yes" is @vcinemashow. Amidst the tragedy is a really moving story about embracing life and those around you and it features phenomenal acting. It was a highlight of #OAFF2021 @oaffpress https://t.co/madpLVsksk

THE SLUG is at #OAFF2021 and I recommend it. I was moved to tears many times by its story of someone learning to overcome a lifetime of othering by those around her. Happiness, sadness, and magic make up this memorable movie! Review @vcinemashow @oaffpress https://t.co/cjZSux9y3p
