l.i.f.f.

i'll be getting tickets for;

'factotum' - new film from bent hamer, his film 'kitchen stories' was one of my favourites from 2003

'great yokai war' - new retelling of the classic yokai legends by miike

'survive style 5+' - kooky japanese kookyness with asano and vinny jones'



and a selection fo the following;

arvo part - 24 preludes for a fugue' - documentary about the estonia composer

'ferpect crime' - spanish black comedy

'frozenland' - bleak looking finnish effort

'hotel' - the 'mirrormask' film

'magia russica' - documentary about classic russian animation, fingers crossed for a large yuri norstein segment

i'll probably go to the 'czech surrealism night'

'nuit noire' - dutch surrealism

'the bow' - new kim ki-duk effort

'the constant gardner' - although i may just wait for the general release

'piano tuner of earthquakes' - new film from the brothers quay

'proposition' - new nick cave and john hillcoat, if there last collaboration ('ghosts of the civil dead') is anything to go by, this western should be very interesting...



i'm tempted to go and see 'a bittersweet life' on the big screen, but there's other stuff i haven't already seen...

"Thank God for dandan" - Leeds International Film Festival Organiser, Geoffrey Truncheon.

so many films, so little time...

I'll be going for those, I think. 12th and 11th. Yummy.

I'll have to see if I can find one of those cool booklets with pictures and things - I can't really be bothered sifting through all that text on the site, and I doubt I'll go to many more, impoverished as I am...
