Host Dr Pasquale Iannone is joined by MSc Film Studies student Russell Shen to discuss two films by the great Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-Hsien: 1987 drama Daughter of the Nile and the director's final film, The Assassin (2015).
Mambo No.4(K)...In this episode, Joe is joined (again) by Caroline Tranberg to talk about Hou Hsiao-Hsien's 2001 'Millenium Mambo'. They talk about the plight of the main character and the relatability of 'slice of life' films, and discuss the efforts of film restoration, including Martin Scorcese's efforts, Norske Filmklassikere, and the work and life of Leon Vitali.--------The whole RSS feed is available here > https://rss.com/podcasts/thereelthingThe Reel Thing on Social Media:Instagram > https://www.instagram.com/thereelthingpod---------All music by Wise John. https://wisejohn.com/Follow them on Instagram > https://www.instagram.com/wisejohnofficial/---------Bergen Filmklubb > https://bergenfilmklubb.no/Norske Filmklassikere (Restoration Project) > https://www.facebook.com/groups/norskefilmklassikereArticle about > https://montages.no/nyheter/vi-ma-eie-var-egen-filmhistorie-christer-falck-vil-utgi-norske-filmklassikere-pa-fysisk-format/---------References:https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/22/movies/millennium-mambo-hou-hsiao-hsien.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hou_Hsiao-hsienhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_preservation
https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/01/17/thinking-aloud-about-film-good-morning-taipei-li-hsing-taiwan-1979/ We return to Hou Hsiao Hsien and to Taiwanese Cinema. Hou is the screenwriter for this transitional melodramatic musical: a hit and winner of the Golden Horse Award. Part of a series of films, some in new restorations, that are being screened under the title of GOLDEN DECADES: CINEMATIC MASTERS OF THE GOLDEN HORSE AWARDS. In the podcast we discuss it in relation to the healthy realist films of a previous generation, Hou's first films as a director, Spanish musical melodramas featuring children and British 60s musicals such as LIVE IT UP. A very enjoyable film that makes us look forward to the others in the series.

Avantgardistische Elektronika und frickelige Klangexperimente. ## NOKO 128 - Taiwan Ban Shou Li Tinting the everydayness of the returnees with exotic strangeness. Winter in Taiwan「臺灣」is different. the musical tastes too. influences from China and Japan are close. but local recordstores are rare now, the production of vinyl stops radically in the late 80s. the island has given rise to a great variety of city pop from the 60s onwards. for several years younger generations relive the hype.

Święta i Nowy Rok. Wyjątkowy czas, w którym spotykamy się z rodziną, odpoczywamy i... nadrabiamy filmowe zaległości. W ostatnim w roku 2021 odcinku Azja Kręci, proponujemy naszym słuchaczom przegląd najlepszych azjatyckich filmów dostępnych w polskich serwisach VOD. Pogrupowaliśmy je tematycznie w specjalne mini-maratony na kolejne dni świątecznej przerwy. Mamy nadzieję, że zestawienia te okażą się przydatne w planowaniu Waszych seansów. Odpoczywajcie, oglądajcie, słuchajcie! Wracamy w roku 2022. P.S. Drodzy słuchacze Azja Kręci! Bardzo chcieliśmy wrzucić ten odcinek podkastu w eter jeszcze przed świętami. Niestety, do nagrania wkradł się słyszalny błąd techniczny. Mimo to, postanowiliśmy, że emisja się odbędzie. Jest jednak pewien haczyk - odcinek ten będzie dostępny tylko przez dwa tygodnie i zniknie na początku roku 2022. Słuchajcie go więc, póki jest :) Za dyskomfort dla uszu bardzo przepraszamy. Życzymy Wam wszystkiego najlepszego i wspaniałych filmowych emocji! Filmy odcinka: Kochana rodzinka Wiosenna fala / Spring Tide / Chun Chao, reż.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/08/30/hou-hsiao-hsien-25-contexts-15-growing-up-chen-kunhou-1983/ We discuss this absorbing and extremely likeable film in the context of New Taiwanese Cinema. Chen Kunhou was then Hou's regular cinematographer. This feels , to an extent, like a transition between the style of the earlier Hou films and the later ones. Hou Hsiao-hsien collaborated on the screenplay and we compare this to Hou's earlier films (and find it lacking). There's a sense that that this is a first try for ideas that were better developed in Boys from Fengkuei & Time to Live and a Time to Die. There are spoilers in the podcast. The film is a maternal melodrama, where the mother's point of view is sidelined in favour of the son's, the husband's, the society, a childhood schoolmate of the son. We find fault with the screenplay, the structure and the visual story-telling. What in Hou feel like ellipses that afford depth, here come across as unbelievable plot holes or plot twists. We are nonetheless very charmed by it and highly recommend.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/08/24/hou-hsiao-hsien-24-contexts-14-that-day-on-the-beach-edward-yang-1982/ Two old friends reunite after 13 years apart. One was in love with the other's brother but the couple were forced to separate after he was forced into an arranged marriage with someone else and this ruined his life. His sister ran away to marry for love but ended up just as unhappy as her brother and her friend. One friend lost herself in her work and became a famous concert pianist; the other started a successful business. But what happened that day, on the beach? A poetic exegis on love, loss and happiness with a focus on women's perspectives and experiences; a melodrama in art cinema mode, with gorgeous images beautifully shot by Christopher Doyle. Hou hsia-hsien appears as part of a gang of boisterous Wall Street types.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/08/09/hou-hsiao-hsien-23-contexts-13-in-our-time-yi-chang-ko-i-chen-tao-te-chen-edward-yang-1982/ A central film in the history of New Taiwanese Cinema. A portmanteu film, like The Sandwich Man, composed of films by four different directors :Dinosaur/ Little Dragon Head, d: Tao Te Chen; Expectations/ Desires, d: Edward Yang; Leapfrog, d: Ko I-chen; Say Your Name/ Show Your ID, d: Yi Chang. The films are structured in chronological order, each film set in a different decade from the 50s to the 80s. In the podcast we discuss the figure of the Child in Taiwanese cinema, which seems to be a recurring pattern. We're thrilled by the extraordinary depiction of the female gaze in Edward Yang's episode and the beautiful and complex way it's visually conveyed. What Yang can do with a pan is quite extraordinary. We talk about how this new wave comes across as a 'boy's club' and discuss the context of the last episode in relation to Sylvia Chang. We also wonder whether Sylvia Chang might be overlooked more by Western critics than Taiwanese ones and the effect that that might have on our perception and accounts of this cinema in the West and whether this is an effect of overvaluing auteurism at the expense of social and industrial contexts. We note the use of music and discuss how those choices might have affected the international circulation of this film. We talk about the many common elements these short films have with Hou Hsiao-hsien's early commercial work. It's a film we both highly recommend,
A discussion of OUR TIME, OUR STORY, a more traditional documentary than FLOWERS OF TAIPEI but all the better for it. A film with various kinds of contexts (production, distribution, exhibition, reception) that historicises well, finds extraordinary archival footage, interviews many of the leading people involved in Taiwan's New Cinema and really enhances our knowledge of the period, the movement, and the films themselves. The clips in the film really make us appreciate how new restorations have enhanced the visual beauty of these films.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/07/23/hou-hsiao-hsien-21-a-city-of-sadness-1989/ After all our contextualising, we return to Hou Hsiao-hsien films proper, focussing on the masterpiece that is a City of Sadness. We are able now to discuss not only what the film feels like to watch or what it is about in formal terms but can now add various kinds of contexts: historical, political, social, aesthetic, industrial, and even how our own personal histories find echo in the film and how those echoes add a layer of insight and understanding into the film and perhaps also into ourselves. It makes for a rich but still -- as is proper with all great works -- initial and tentative discussion.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/07/15/18745/ We continue with our discussion of Edward Yang films in relation to Hou Hsiao-hsien's work. We discuss the film in relation to Postmodernism, Existentialism, contingency, nausea, chance. We note that Fredric Jameson wrote on Sartre, Postmodernism, and this film. We discuss, Yang's characteristic visuals, his distinctive way of filming, narrating, and style of characterisation. We continue to be entranced.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/21/hou-hsiao-hsien-18-context-9-flowers-of-taipei-taiwan-new-cinema-chinlin-hsieh-2014/ A discussion of FLOWERS OF TAIPEI, a documentary on Taiwan New Cinema. José saw it twice; the first time finding it interesting but almost instantly forgettable; the second time it incensed him, seeming an attempt to get a production to pay for a director's networking opportunities rather than a work that actually illuminates what Taiwan New Cinema might be; its history, contexts, development. We do get to see it's impact on major names from East Asia. Richard is as always the voice of reason.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/16/hou-hsiao-hsien-17-contexts-8-the-rice-dumpling-vendors-hsin-chi-1969/ A discussion of Hsin Chi's THE RICE DUMPLING VENDORS, a rare male melodrama. The protagonist kicks his wife out of the house for perceived infidelity; as soon as he does the whole family falls apart and is plunged in a spiral of poverty, the father at one point abandoning his baby even as his two minor children take on jobs in order to buy milk. The film documents a society on the cusp of modernity and suffering the effects of the social and economic effects produced by it. Stylistically, the film is highly skilled and gorgeous to look at. Character's thoughts are offered in voice-over or through song. There is a mix of genres: noir/action/family-melodrama/documentary. It's a cinephile's film, with references to PSYCHO and other films. The music borrows from CINDERELLA as well as then current pop-hits as Sinatra's version of 'I've Got You Under My Skin'. We also discuss the extent to which this film is an influence on Hou Hsiao-hsien's THE SANDWICH MAN. The more Hsin Chi films we see, the more we like and value them.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/13/hou-hsiao-hsien-16-contexts-7-dangerous-youth-hsin-chi-1969/ Continuing with our discussion of Hsin Chi films. This time the focus is on DANGEROUS YOUTH. We offer a bit of background on Hsin Chi; discuss how the film is similar to Nagisa Oshima's CRUEL STORY OF YOUTH, Godard's BREATHLESS, BEAT GIRL, and all the motorcycle gang Roger Corman films of the mid-sixties. The film has the thematics and energy of pre-code sex melodramas but surrounded by a rock-pop soundtrack stylised and transformed by foregrounding the sax. DANGEROUS YOUTH is visually inventive, with fascinating compositions, interesting intimations of nudity through shadows, compositions that make the most of the architecture to suggest interior states and external perspectives. The story of a young girl groomed into prostitution for money by the pimp she loves and the richer woman who is pulling his strings, is given sexy, noirish form and fascinating gender politics. Does anyone believe the end?
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/11/hou-hsiao-hsien-15-contexts-6-foolish-bride-naive-bridegroom-hsin-chi-1967/ We continue our discussion of the films kindly made available in wonderful versions by the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute. This time we discuss the second Hsin Chi film on view, FOOLISH BRIDE, NAIVE BRIDEGROOM, a wonderfully inventive screwball comedy displaying a wide array of cinematic devices for humours effect (stop-motion, music, fluid camera), anchoring it in solid structure, set on the cusp of modernity, and humorously putting all the major decisions on the hands of the female protagonists. Great fun.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/09/hou-hsiao-hsien-14-contexts-5-the-bride-who-returned-from-hell-hsin-chi-1965/ We discuss THE BRIDE WHO RETURNED FROM HELL, from a cycle of Hsin Chi films the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute is currently providing free on Youtube and in excellent restorations. We discuss its debt to Rebecca, Strangers on a Train, The Innocents, the Bond films, melodrama and the Gothic. We talk about its formal inventiveness in its use of a rotating camera and split screen. We also explore how its interspersed with musical numbers that often take place amongst a recognisable landscape. It's a Taiwanese film where one can't help but note its transnational dimension. It's a film we both liked and recommend.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/07/hou-hsiao-hsien-13-contexts-4-may-13-day-of-sorrows-lin-tuan-chiu-1965/ We once more thank the Taiwan Film and Audio-Visual Institute for the opportunity to see these marvellous copies of Lin Tuan-Chiu film. In the podcast we discuss the combination of genres in the film -- melodrama, court-room drama, documentary, murder-mystery, musical. We discuss the acting in relation to theatrical revue. We wonder if a scene from Hou's Cute Girl finds its inspiration here....and much more.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/05/hou-hsiao-hsien-11-contexts-b-kind-hu-dragon-inn-1967-a-touch-of-zen-1971/ In this podcast we discuss the recent MUBI showings of Dragon Inn and A Touch of Zen, its relationship to the Wuxia genre and its influence on films such Crouching Tiger/ Hidden Dragon (Ang Lee, 2000), Hero (Zhang Yimou, 2002) and House of Flying Daggers (Zhang Yimou, 2004, its later influence on more recent Taiwanese cinema, so obvious in Tsai Ming Liang's Goodbye, Dragon Inn and Hou's own The Assassin (2015).
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/06/04/the-husbands-secret-zhang-fu-de-mi-mi-lin-tuan-qiu-taiwan-1960/ A treat. Part of a new series of mid-century Taiwanese films made available in a wonderful restoration through the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute. We are discussing the film as a context for, as a way of better understanding the cinema of Hou Hsiao-hsien. But we can't help but discuss other elements that crop up: the career of Lin Tuan-qiu, the uses of melodrama, the extraordinary cinematography by Chen Cheng-fan and equally amazing lighting by Chen Tian-rong; we discuss how the film is a critique of patriarchy whilst also exploiting the visual aspects of women sinning; the films seems both visually sophisticated but also an example of what many will see as crude stereotypical melodrama, and fascinating for that. It's a plot-laden film, full of twists, and totally engrossing. We discuss the uses of flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks; the narrated elements by a narrator that seems omniscient and can't quite be placed; we critique the choppiness of the editing whilst praising some of the on-location shooting. We see clear roots in theatre and theatrical forms of acting. A weird and fascinating combination of cine-literate sophistication with a kind of crudity of acting and mode which we highly recommend not only to those interested in Taiwanese Cinema but also those interested in melodrama.
We discuss the work of Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien and focus on A SUMMER AT GRANDPA'S, FLOWERS OF SHANGHAI, and THE ASSASSIN.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/05/26/hou-hsiao-hsien-9-daughter-of-the-nile-1987/ We discuss Daughter of the Nile as a transitional film for Hou, the relatively few locations (the house, KFC, the nightclub, the beach etc) in which the film is set, the now typical Hou way of filming from repeating fixed camera positions with little or no movement; the way the protagonist remains relatively unknowable, the fractured family on the edges of criminality across generations, the lack of judgment on that, the continued use of fart jokes, the context in which the film was made (end of Martial law, ongoing relationship with American consumer culture etc). A film José didn't quite like as much as Richard but which nonetheless rewarded a second viewing.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/05/21/hou-hsiao-hsien-8-dust-in-the-wind-1986/ A beautiful film, a continuation of a cycle of autobiographical films (The Boys From Fengkuei, A Summer at Grandpa's). We continue our discussion of framing, ellipses, cinema, letters, the country and the city, heartbreak and exploitation, and all those other formal and thematic elements that make Hou's cinema so great.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/05/16/hou-hsiao-hsien-7-a-time-to-live-and-a-time-to-die/ We continue our discussion of the work of Hou Hsiao-hsien, this time with a focus on The Time to Live and The Time to Die, the second in his cycle of autobiographical films after The Boys from Fenkuei. We discuss what is depth in this film and talk about Hou's consideration of 'traces 'in the surfaces of his films, how the depth is often in the surfaces. We note the structuring of this film, a bildungsroman, around a series of deaths. We talk of how often the key narrative points are obscured, and make sense only in the connections the viewers can make; how Hou often films in fixed positions, so we return to the same scene but across time, and we think about how this might affect all those spaces without faces, the anticipatory space, and the remains after characters have left the scene. We also explore the dual perspective in the film, the filmmaker's and the protagonist's, often intersecting, rarely interchangeable. We mention how Hou narrates the beginning of the film and how the drama is filmed in the real places and spaces he grew up in, and the effect of dramatising fictionally, on our speculation of the effects of spaces across time in this narrative....and much more.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/05/14/hou-hsiao-hsien-6-a-summer-at-grandpas-1983/ We delve further into the cinema of Hou Hsiao-hsien. We discuss the narrative structure, how various plots unfold and deepen what seems initially a light story where not much seems to happen. We discuss the continuing interest in differences between the country and the city, the use of trains, how the kids develop an understanding of the adult world by what happens on the margins of the story, and how the story itself is told in long takes, in the middle plane of the frame, with elegant compositions that reframe our view through character placement and movement. We discuss the context of production, the connection with Hong Kong, the limitations of government policy, how little film filmmakers were allowed to use, and how this affected the films' aesthetic. We also discuss the improvisational style of acting and the performances Hou manages to extract from the children, who are wonderful. We talk of how he uses corridors and stairs to create depth, how light and oblique angles create the feeling of a child hearing things they might not be understanding. We also discuss Hou's use of empty space (which is what most likely lead to comparisons with Ozu). we end with a discussion of the music, very different this time, and composed by Edward Yang, who also plays the father in the film, appearing briefly at the beginning and the end....….oh and the continuing use of toilet gags!
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/05/09/thinking-aloud-about-film-hou-hsiao-hsieng-5-the-boys-from-fengkuei-aka-all-the-youthful-days-1983/ Hou has described this as the favourite amongst his films. Richard and José discuss why this might be so: the compositions; the long takes that allow for action vertically, horizontally, and on different planes of the image. The juxtaposition between the rowdy teenage delinquency we see with the classical musical. The easy ellipsis into memory. The evident influence of Italian neo-realism, particularly Visconti's Rocco and His Brothers, which is explicitly referenced and Fellini's I Vitelloni, which has a similar set-up. We discuss the falling into place of a particular style that would come to be associated with the director and why we think the film ends up being so beautiful and moving.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/05/07/thinking-aloud-about-film-hou-hsiao-hsien-4-the-sandwich-man-1983/ A discussion of The Sandwich Man, an omnibus film with episodes from Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wan Jeng, Tseng Shuan-hsiang, that is said to have helped launch New Taiwanese Cinema. We talk about the three different episodes, how so many New Waves incorporated omnibus or portmanteau films as a form of self advertisement, the relationship to The Bicycle Thief, the way it allegorises and comments on conflicts and changes in Taiwanese cinema and society....and much more.
In this podcast, Richard and I discuss how much we both like this film, an early one of Hou's that we argue continues to be largely dismissed in account of his work. Here we admire what we see as his growth as a filmmaker: the increasing use of expressive long-takes, the filming from the inside of trains, the imaginative compositions, the handling of many people in the frame whilst still keeping dramatic focus, the deft control over various narrative threads. We notice that this is the third time in three fllms that we get scatalogical jokes but how now they're not used as superficial toppers but instead evoke character and feeling as well as laughs. There are songs and there is romance but we discuss how there is also much more than that: a highly skilled and enjoyable work.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/04/28/thinking-aloud-about-film-hou-hsiao-hsien-2-cheerful-wind-aka-play-while-you-play/ Thinking Aloud About Film continues it's exploration of the cinema of Hou Hsia-hsien with a discussion of Cheerful Wind aka Play While you Play, a charming musical romantic comedy, an exploration of filmmaking itself, and a re-teeming of the cast that made the previous Cute Girl such a success.
https://notesonfilm1.com/2021/04/25/thinking-aloud-about-film-the-cinema-of-hou-hsiao-hsien-1-cute-girl-1980/ Richard and I turn our attention to the early cinema of Hou Hsiao-hsien. Four of his films are now on MUBI and at least the first one is delightful: a romantic comedy not to different from those characteristic of American Cinema in the 1930s, but with broader humour and more pop songs. A delightful first work, very commercial .... and very different from what was to follow.

En este episodio Carlos Esquives, crítico de cine de Fotograma Gourmet, comenta tres estrenos recientes liberados en Netflix: "Ya no estoy aquí", de Fernando Frías de la Parra; "Da 5 Bloods", de Spike Lee; y "Tigertail", de Alan Yang. Sobre la película mexicana, se comenta sobre la mirada exótica hacia el género musical Kolombia, la migración, la violencia en México y la devastación de una identidad. En la película de Lee, se comenta sobre la hermandad, la unidad y el racismo para el director. Y en la última, se hace una referencia al cine de Hou Hsiao Hsien, el cine biográfico e histórico, la melancolía, el amor platónico y los lazos familiares.
Being the metropolitan area newspaper's film critic has its set of burdens and responsibilities to a number of diverse audiences, but for Justin Chang, those challenges are multiplied by the the odd nature of Los Angeles as the movie capital of the world. In this final episode from the City of Angels as Peter says adios to the city he's called home for the last five years, he sits down with the former Variety and current Los Angeles Times critic to explore how to look and consider the industry and the various entanglements that expand out from it. Justin explains his growth from intern to critic within the city's oldest trade publication to the issues of representation and politics within Hollywood today. The two cap off their conversation by looking at Hou Hsiao-Hsien's strange and hypnotic Flowers of Shanghai, looking at how the director lays clues throughout to explore a 19th century brothel wrapped into a romantic mystery. 0:00–3:11 Opening3:51–11:39 Establishing Shots — Celebrating Seven Years of The Cinephiliacs12:24–1:04:31 Deep Focus — Justin Chang1:05:28–1:09:15 Sponsorship Section1:10:27–1:28:49 Double Exposure — Flowers of Shanghai (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)1:29:02–1:31:29 Close / Outtake

Edward Yangs "glemte klassiker" «Taipei Story» er et av nøkkelverkene i den taiwanesiske filmens gullalder på 1980- og 90-tallet, og i denne podkasten diskuterer vi vårt første møte med filmen i nyrestaurert utgave, og hvordan Yang og kollega Hou Hsiao-Hsien (som spiller hovedrollen i «Taipei Story» og er medmanusforfatter) bidro til å gi et distinkt filmspråk til den taiwanesiske epoken de var en essensiell del av.

On this week Sam went to see smash hit comedy Zoolander 2 with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and the rest of the gang reprising their roles as the clueless but lovable ridiculously good looking models. He was baffled by a large sprawling film which seemed to mainly consist of political machinations in 9th century China and definitely didn't have Ben Stiller in it. It was only when the credits rolled that he realised that he'd actually gone to wrong screen and had watched the entirety of The Assassin, a sumptuous epic from esteemed Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien....so he reviewed that instead. Meanwhile Danny went to check out Alvin and Chipmunks: The Road Chip. He was initially impressed by the stellar A list cast- Ralph Fiennes as Alvin with Tilda Swinton, Matthias Schoenaerts and Dakota Johnson as the chipmunks?! It all seemed to implausible to be true and it turned out it was as what he'd actually watched was A Bigger Splash - a film about sexy rich people hating each other on a beautiful Italian island. He didn't mind though because he thought it was like well good. They also discuss the latest news from enfant terrible, agent provocateur Danish wunderkin Lars Von trier......and wonder if Stephen Fry was replaced with a life size cut out of Stephen Fry which just emitted a string of sycophantic adjectives every four minutes anyone at the Baftas would notice.

Frank Flaherty (The Special without Brett Davis) talks tech, horror, and Hou Hsiao-Hsien's signature enigmatic style with the well regarded Flowers of Shanghai. We may or may not regard the movie quite as well as those fancypants critics who seem to live in film festivals and also up their own butts.

Le parcours de Hou Hsiao-hsien est atypique : profondément imprégné d'une histoire, celle de Taïwan, il s'est attaqué aussi à ses plus grands tabous dans le but de l'écrire vraiment. De fait, il s'est imposé comme une figure d'exception au sein de la nouvelle vague du cinéma taïwanais des années 1980.
À l'occasion de l'avant-première de son film The Assassin (Nie yin niang, 2014), Hou Hsiao-hsien dialogue avec Frédéric Bonnaud et Jean-François Rauger.
The Assassin is the first film from Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien for 8 years and his take on 'wuxia', a martial hero genre of Chinese fiction traditionally found in literature. The plot re-imagines a Tang Dynasty legend about a female assassin, and stars Shu Qi. Mark Eccleston reviews.Crime writer Peter May returns to the Hebrides for his latest novel, Coffin Road, in which a man washed up on a beach with no memory of who he is, searches for clues to an identity which may prove him a murderer.Attacking the Devil: Harold Evans and the Last Nazi War Crime is a new film documentary which charts Harold Evans's tenure as editor of The Sunday Times. The film's co-directors Jacqui and David Morris discuss the film and their focus in particular on the investigation by Evans's Insight team to expose the truth behind the thalidomide scandal of the late 50s and early 60s, that left thousands of babies born with severe physical deformities.Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Ella-mai Robey.

Some film festivals have an easy time when their mission is set on any and all new movies with premieres from around the world. But how do you program for a niche? Glenn Heath Jr. works as the Managing Director for the Pacific Arts Movement, which is returning with another iteration of the San Diego Asian Film Festival. Some of the names will be familiar to cinephiles: Johnnie To, Sion Sono, Apichatpong Weerasethakul. But what about the big blockbusters that never come to American shores, or the Asian American filmmakers waiting to be discovered? Glenn talks about the delights and challenges of working on such a festival, as well as his work in film criticism in writing about lost and forgotten films while never throwing down the gauntlet. Finally, the two wrap up their conversation by turning to Jim Jarmusch's 1995 acid western Dead Man, and explore why the film's poetic tone and awkward humor allow it to transcend beyond a "revisionist western." Plus, excerpts from an interview with acclaimed Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien, who has returned to screens with his contemplative wuxia epic The Assassin. 0:00-3:35 Opening4:30-12:42 Establishing Shots - Hou Hsiao-Hsien discusses The Assassin13:27-1:12:03 Deep Focus - Glenn Heath Jr.1:12:42-1:15:15 Mubi Sponsorship1:16:20-1:46:09 Double Exposure - Dead Man (Jim Jarmusch)1:46:13-1:47:51 Close

En una de las finales más disputadas de los últimos años, en la que Italia, Suecia y Rusia han estado bastante igualados en las votaciones, finalmente el cantante sueco Måns Zelmerlöw ha ganado el Festival de Eurovisión 2015 con la canción "Heroes". Se trata de la sexta vez que Suecia gana el Festival de Eurovisión, después de Loreen (2012), Charlotte Nilsson (1999), Carola (1991), Hermanos Herreys (1984) y Abba (1974 con "Waterloo"). A sus 28 años, Måns Zelmerlöw ha hecho realidad uno de sus mayores sueños: ganar el Festival de Eurovisión. Y lo ha hecho con la satisfacción de ser el gran favorito desde que el pasado 14 de marzo ganara el Melodifestivalen con "Heroes"y consiguiera así el pasaporte para representar a Suecia en Eurovisión. El cantante siempre ha explicado que esta canción con influencias electrónicas y estribillo pegadizo habla de los problemas que tenía para hacer amigos cuando era un niño. Pero la verdadera fuerza de esta canción, lo que de verdad le ha hecho ganar el Festival, está en su puesta en escena, en la que el cantante interactúa con una imágenes proyectadas.

Y en el caso de la principal actividad productiva del municipio miranda que es la producción de arroz se verá paralizada para los próximos ciclos de norte verano ya que no se contara con el preciado líquido haciendo que la región sea improductiva y merme su economía. La situación es altamente grave por lo que desde esta ventana hago un llamado de alerta ante este drama social para que las autoridades competentes se aboquen a tratar de buscar soluciones o alternativas ante la problemática que afecta a la población del municipio Miranda.

Between experimental cinema and the mainstream, between academic writing and teaching and mainstream criticism, New School professor and writer Genevieve Yue enjoys crossing the boundaries between the normally concrete lines of contemporary cinema and cinephilia. So in the latest episode, she sits down with Peter to talk about coming to experimental cinema through poetry, finding ways to teach and think about the avant-garde, and the transitional moment of Asian cinema. Plus, the two dive into Hou Hsiao-Hsien's Café Lumière, a film that allows for a cinema set in the spaces "in between" and one filled with layers of the past, whether cinematically or through the film's own narrative secrets. 0:00-1:34 Opening2:24-7:32 Establishing Shots - George Cukor and Sylvia Scarlett / Sponsor8:17-59:15 Deep Focus - Genevieve Yue1:00:24-1:19:48 Double Exposure - Café Lumière (Hou Hsiao-Hsien)1:19:52-1:21:31 Close
#65 City of Sadness (1989), de Hou Hsiao-hsien by Civilcinema
Depuis l’époque coloniale japonaise à nos jours en passant par la période de la dictature des Nationalistes chinois, Taipei est l’objet de représentations contradictoires qui révèlent son identité fragmentée. Cette présentation revient plus particulièrement sur l’image de Taipei à l’écran avant Tsai Ming-Liang, Hou Hsiao Hsien et Edward Yang. Wafa Ghermani
Breathless (A Bout De Souffle) is being re-released in UK cinemas to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its original release. One of the key films of the French New Wave, it is the story of Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a small-time criminal on the run, and Patricia Franchini (Jean Seberg), an American who sells the International Herald Tribune along the boulevards of Paris. With its loose narrative, location shooting, improvised dialogue, jump cuts, deliberately mismatched shots and literary references, it remains a landmark film. It gave French and European cinema a much needed shot of inspiration when it first came out in 1960 with audiences and critics responding to its energy and artistic verve. Pierre Rissient was the assistant director on Breathless and for the past fifty years has been a key figure in the film world: a critic, publicist and consultant to film festivals, he has helped champion directors as diverse as Joseph Losey, Jules Dassin, Anthony Mann, Hou Hsiao Hsien, Zhang Yimou, Clint Eastwood, Quentin Tarantino, Werner Herzog, Jane Campion and Abbas Kiarostami. I recently spoke to Pierre about the re-release of Breathless and got his thoughts on the film fifty years after its original release.File Download (0:00 min / 15 MB)
Een hommage aan Albert Lamorisse's Le ballon rouge uit 1956 moest het worden en dat is het misschien ook. De Taiwanese regisseur Hou Hsiao-hsien trok na het in Tokio gefilmde Cafe lumiere - met hier een daar een eerbetoon aan regisseur Ozu - opnieuw over de landsgrenzen om deze keer in Parijs zijn schijnbaar zwevende camera iets van de nationale ziel te laten proeven. Dana Linssen, Ronald Rovers en Jeroen Stout zweefden boven Parijs en keken mee.
