bc magazine reviews
Accident
Accident is a carefully assembled, effectively executed and quietly successful little film that manages to mostly silence the concerns over its lengthy gestation period and emerge as one of the more interesting Hong Kong films of this year.
Crazy Racer
The complex intertwining storyline, featuring a plethora of nefarious underworld characters, makes Crazy Racer feel in many ways like a Mandarin Guy Ritchie film, similar in tone and style to Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels.

Haeundae

In the end, Haeundae is exactly what you would expect from a big-budget Korean disaster film: a giant genre mash-up of romance and action, brimming with big-name stars playing highly emotional characters with very convoluted relationships.

Vancouver Fest Announces Dragons & Tigers (more)
THE COW (Guan Hu) North American Premiere
The sole survivor of a Japanese attack in WWII, shock-haired Chinese farmer Nie Er becomes an unlikely resistance hero, along with his companion, an indomitably loyal milk cow. Guan Hu's picaresque black comedy packs a delightfully absurd punch, with stunning images illustrating a touching magic-realist fable.

OXHIDE II (Liu Jiayin) North American Premiere
One of Chinese cinema's boldest experiments in narrative fiction is also the funniest Chinese film of the year. Liu Jiayin's story of making dumplings with her parents structures this formally daring, wryly amusing look at family dynamics, economic burdens and the ethics and aesthetics of cooking from scratch.

NIGHT AND FOG (Ann Hui) North American Premiere
Based on a true incident, Ann Hui's harrowing drama captures domestic violence in all its dramatic complexity. When a pregnant mainland woman marries a violently jealous unemployed Hong Konger, economic and cultural differences prove explosive.

AT THE END OF DAYBREAK (Ho Yuhang)
An elegant, tough, unconventional film noir from Malaysia. Probing beneath unquiet surfaces, Ho Yuhang's luminous images and stunning montages catch quiet passions erupting into unpredictable, shocking action: between two young lovers, between husband and wife and between mother and son.

YANG YANG (Cheng Yu-chieh) North American Premiere
This vibrantly alive coming-of-age story of a young Eurasian woman in Taipei follows glamorous Yang Yang from high-school athlete to aspiring actress. Director Cheng Yu-chieh's intimate camera captures the precise articulation, via sex, scandal and heartbreak, between adolescence and adulthood.
