    Kim Jee Woon is perhaps now better known for crime action genre fare, but his dark, atmospheric style started in 1998 with the black comedy The Quiet Family. The Korean director returns to his dark comedy roots with Cobweb, a satirical comedy-drama written by Shin Yeon Shick about the making of a film in the early 1970s. Back then, Chungmuro was subjected to heavy censorship under the Park Chung Hee regime, and productions had to pass government censors before and after filming. Nevertheless, director Kim, portrayed by Kim Jee Woon regular Song Kang Ho, is determined to reshoot a different ending for his already wrapped film. Obsessed with his visions of a masterpiece – and his desire for... [read more]

    After night comes day
    August 30, 2024 Picked By Sanwei See all this editor's picks
    PMS is a common condition but there are very few films that seriously and empathetically portray how it affects life for women. Based on a novel by Seo Maiko, Miyake Sho's All the Long Nights shines a light on the everyday pains of a woman with severe PMS, while also emphasizing that her story is one of many in a world where everyone carries pains of their own. Kamishiraishi Mone plays Fujisawa Misa, a young woman whose premenstrual syndrome symptoms include fatigue and heightened anger and irritability. Her mood swings are so bad that it can be difficult for her to function normally during those few days of the month. We first see Misa leaving her job after some embarrassing moments in...

Mad Fate premiered last year at the Berlin Film Festival and won Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Editing at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Though the uncanny thriller has received less attention than Twilight of the Warriors or even Limbo, Mad Fate has the distinction of bearing the increasingly rare Milkyway Image signature.

Out of time has a K.Will-type soulful ballad melody, but the groovy arrangement, pulsating bass line and silky vocals take the song to a different vibe. Seo In Guk sings moodily of being lost over a lost love – "I'm still in the lost time without you tonight"... [read more]

    After parting ways with Cube Entertainment and launching his own label NAKED, Pentagon's Kino has been dropping one single after another that each brings out a new "lover boy" persona. If this is love, I want a refund captures the mood from mending a broken heart to being infatuated with someone again through five TikTok-ish catchy tunes. Broke My Heart (Feat. Lay Bankz) (Track 1) comes off bold and explicit as an intro track: "Why you broke my heart? Hope you go break your phone and your bone. Why you broke my heart? Hope you scream my name on top of him." This song just shows how Kino is trying to push the envelope as a solo artist now. Though it's about heartbreak and betrayal, Broke My... [read more]

    To Catch a Comedy
    May 30, 2024 Picked By Sanwei See all this editor's picks
    For some reason, the 2004 Korean horror comedy To Catch a Virgin Ghost has inspired not one but two Chinese-language remakes in recent years – Taiwan's Treat or Trick in 2021 and Hong Kong's Everything Under Control in 2023. Both remakes follow the same premise of a desperate guy and a gang henchman entering a creepy remote village in search of a colleague who ran off with stolen diamonds that the mob wants back. Each film localizes in different ways, particularly in the relative emphasis of the comedy, mystery and horror elements. Comedy comes first for Everything Under Control which was released in Hong Kong during Chinese New Year. Singer Hins Cheung makes a rare leading film appearance... [read more]

What's more, Energy is back in the original lineup of Milk, Edy, Toro, Kunda and Shuwei!

Afterwards, Energy joined Mayday's B'in Music, and they make a full-blown return this year with a... [read more]

    Nearly four decades of martial law came to an end in Taiwan in 1987. Along with the lifting of martial law came ripples of changes to Taiwanese life and society.

Tai Lai has been slowly saving up to buy a home, but unbeknownst to him, property prices have surged beyond his expectations.
