Tony Takitani
2004 | 75 min. | Color | Japanese w/English subtitles
Directed by: Jun Ichikawa
Cast: Issey Ogata, Rie Miyazawa and Shinohara Takahumi
Before Burning and Drive My Car expanded Haruki Murakami short stories into intimate epics, unheralded master Jun Ichikawa took on his portrait of a technical artist whose retreat from monklike self-sufficiency results in tragedy for himself and his shopaholic wife. Although a modest and almost daringly literal adaptation of its source material, Tony Takitani's melancholic Ryūichi Sakamoto piano score and equally pitch-perfect performance from Issey Ogata (Yi Yi, Silence) contribute to an understated emotional intensity that lingers long after the 75 minutes are up.
Burning
2018 | 148 min. | Color | Korean w/ English subtitles
Directed by: Lee Chang-dong
Cast: Yoo Ah-in, Steven Yeun, Jeon Jong-seo, Kim Soo-kyung and Choi Seung-ho
Lee Chang-dong's Burning is a thriller that keeps on giving and one that will leave you feeling uneasy hours after you watch it. Childhood friends Jong-su (Yoo Ah-in) and Hae-mi (Jeon Jong- seo) reconnect with each other, but everything changes once Ben (Steven Yeun) enters the picture.
