A "Wedding Banquet" (1993) Companion with NYU Film Professor Zhen Zhang

For a bonus episode this week, Emilio goes solo for a (mostly) spoiler free talk about a film he really loves, Ang Lee's "The Wedding Banquet".  It was a successful and critically acclaimed independent film back when it was released in 1993, but has mostly stayed relevant as its esteemed director's international breakthrough.  Yet it's a timeless film full of humor, compassion,  and reflections on what we sacrifice of ourselves due to societal forces and the expectations of our families.  Its enduring place in cinema history is evidenced by it being reimagined by writer/director Andrew Ahn - this remake can currently be seen in theaters nationwide.   Emilio gets into what he enjoys so much about the original, shares his thoughts on the remake and how it is distinct from the original, and speaks with Professor Zhen Zhang, an NYU film professor who shared this film with him in an undergraduate seminar, about Ang Lee's original film.  Professor Zhen Zhang is a film professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and the Director of the Tisch's Asian Film and Media Initiative.  She has a decades long, decorated career in academia that also includes guest-curating film programs for the Film Society at Lincoln Center of Performing Arts, Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Women Make Waves Film Festival in Taipei.If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.  This really helps us find new listeners and grow!Follow us on IG and TikTok: @sleeplesscinematicpodSend us an email at sleeplesscinematicpod@gmail.comOn Letterboxd?

We've got the fabulous Parvesh Cheena here, once again on the gaysian movie beat! This time around, it's Andrew Ahn's THE WEDDING BANQUET, which reimagines and modernizes the core story of a nearly unseeable 1993 Ang Lee film (maybe try your local library?). It's a complicated relationship comedy between two queer couples, and two of their matriarchs.  Plus, we choose which classic films we'd like to see get a queer remake (besides all of them).What's GoodAlonso - TCM FestivalDrea - Drag Race finale, TV as a group activityParvesh - More Drag RaceIfy - Temptation Island (see also: Montoya Por Favor)ITIDICSINNERS is the first horror movie to receive an ‘A' Cinema ScoreWicked's VOD “Bonus Features” Are Getting Tons of PlaysStaff PicksDrea - The Half of ItAlonso - Art for EverybodyParv - A Nice Indian BoyIfy - Crouching Tiger Hidden DragonSee Parvesh in Trauma Play at IAMA Follow us on BlueSky, Facebook, or InstagramWithDrea ClarkAlonso DuraldeIfy NwadiweProduced by Marissa FlaxbartSr. Producer Laura Swisher

In South East Asia, cinema attendances are growing, thanks to a renewed interest in local product. For instance, the Thai movie How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies, broke box office records this year. We hear from director Pat Boonnitipat about the reasons why he believes his film touched the hearts of so many people. The same is true in Vietnam. Last year the country produced its biggest national and international hit Mai, which also became a social media sensation. Historian Tuyet Van Huynh explains why the film's star and director Tran Thanh is a phenomenon in his own right. Indonesian director Eugene Panji reveals why his country's movie industry is also booming, so much so that they are running out of studio space to keep up with the demand. This edition of The Cultural Frontline was recorded before the Myanmar earthquake that also affected parts of Thailand.

Accounting for the unique characteristics of Taiwan's cinema from 2008 to 2020, Mapping Taiwanese Cinema, 2008-2020: Environments, Poetics, Practice (Edinburgh UP, 2024) examines how filmmakers have depicted and imagined the island's diverse environments. Drawing on cinema, cartography, and cultural studies, Christopher Brown argues that by refocusing attention on how films are shaped through a process of construction, the tradition of film poetics enables us to think about Taiwanese cinema differently: as a form of mapping. Wide-ranging in scope and drawing on original interviews with contemporary filmmakers, the analysis appraises case studies including works of popular entertainment, genre cinema such as comedies and horror, films about indigenous communities, LGBTQ+ cinema, and arthouse work. By asking what it means to map an environment onscreen, the book offers new insights into a critically neglected, yet creatively dynamic, period in Taiwan's film history. Christopher Brown is Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Filmmaking at the University of Sussex. He has written and directed several short films including “Remission” (2015), “Soap” (2015), and “Coccolith" (2018). As a researcher, Chris has written on contemporary Taiwanese film, practice-based research, and American cinema.

Playwright Celine Song has made her directorial debut with this highly acclaimed romantic drama which she also wrote the screenplay for.  It's the story of Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo) who grew up as very close friends in South Korea until Nora's parents moved her to the West at the age of 12.   Now as grown adults, they are about to reunite in person for the first time in 24 years in New York City, which is where Nora lives....and is also married.  And what results is a touching meditation on memories, life choices, and the how people can be drawn to others at different points in their lives.Host: Geoff Gershon Editors: Geoff and Ella GershonProducer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

“The closer you look, the harder you fall.” Park Chan-wook cross-pollinates a police procedural with a femme fatale romance in his latest film. Swirling around two lost souls navigating a web of murder, deceit, and desire to desperately cling to their perverse affair, Decision to Leave is a sensual puzzle box. We discuss the illustrious director's filmography, the painterly craft behind the movie, and the inscrutable Tang Wei.
