Yes, I've seen it. While I think there are better films in the genre, I still liked it. It was good entertainment, but in the end I am happy that I was able to lend it from a friend and that I didn't buy the Korean DVD upon its release, as the film is not a keeper in my opinion. But neither are other Korean films which I have bought for a lot of money, such as for example "The Anarchists" or "A Single Spark" or "Plum Blossom". But most often, my purchases of Korean films have paid off.

I'd agree with that. Definitely not a keeper, but it entertains for the length of the film.

Okay, about that screengrab . . .

Ghost Dog?

Is there any point listing every single country that the film is connected to? I have no idea if it's a Japanese, European or American film, which of course makes a huge difference in where I guess???

I'd think the country that it's considered to come from would be better. I'm guessing it's the Brooklyn bridge?

lost in translation?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 14 May 2006, 13:08

It is an American film, but all the other countries were involved in the realization of the film.

Night on Earth?

(I have Jarmusch on the brain.

Plus, I just can't think of that many films spread over those countries.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 14 May 2006, 13:09

Correct, Bobbi!

FUUCK!!!! fuck fuck fuck!

same here. :'(

I was worried it was too easy.

But still, it's one that you'll either get it right off the bat or not have a clue.

edit: btw, that grab I took is from the Criterion DVD. I was amazed at how crisp most of the images were for such an old film! (The one I took a grab of isn't really representative of how crisp most of the images are).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 14 May 2006, 14:49

One of the rare films I actually know..

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 14 May 2006, 16:12

I wouldn't have gotten that if you hadn't lent me the DVD Grim.
