Italy invits Korea at home

florence film festival

From March 31st to April 10, at Florence, Italy, will be held the 4th korean film festival, in collaboration with Samsung Electronics. As any other festival, it will gather some of the most popular korean movies around the 2005 worldwild festivals, such as A Bittersweet Life or The President's Last Bang. Plus, it's somehow interesting to know that 3 important restropectives of great current directors will be presented : Park Chan-Wook, Kim Jee-Woon and Song Il-Gon. These retrospective will show recent features, but also much of their 1990's short movies, quite unknown.

As I can see from here, it seems to be really unfortunate to be held back far from this festival

Memoirs of a Geisha remporte quant à lui les prix de meilleure photographie, meilleurs costumes et meilleure musique. En passant, Stephen Chow s'est encore fait battre et cette fois c'est pas un petit cocorico français : De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté.

En avaaant combattants de la lumièreuuuuuh...

newrobotech

.... nôôôtre viiiie vous l'avez entre vos maiiiins!!

Une suite américaine est bien au programme de leur programme Robotech à eux (et un peu à nous du coup), pour rappel un mélange des japonais Macross, Robotech - Seconde partie - Southern Cross et Robotech - Invasion Invid. La série s'appelle Robotech: The shadow Chronicles et une bande-annonce est disponible sur le site officiel. Les scènes de combat aérien ont l'air un brin statiques mais ça a l'air de suffisamment starwarzer pour qu'on s'y intéresse de près... Y'a intérêt, Mark Hamill parle dedans!!

Dongmakgol in history

welcome to dongmakgol

It was expected, it's done. Showbox, which still shows the movie on 200 screens, said that Welcome to Dongmakgol will this week-end be the fourth in korean history to reach the 8 millions sells, but will also beat the Friend's score.


Welcome to Dongmakgol shows with innoncence and humanism the ravages of war, while in a small village during korean war, an american soldier, a north korean compagny and some south korean troups encounter.
