^^and oh yeah Three Extremes is Asian, not just Japanese, and is actually a sequel, I wouldn't bother with the first comp cos it's rather boring

The Box is Japanese and done by Takashi Miike
Dumplings is from Hong Kong and done by Fruit Chan
Cut is of course Korean

Actually, that's a rather embarrassing oversight by myself. Especially since the point of the film is to represent 3 nationalities perspectives.

As for any prequel, I just picked this up for Wook, and Dumplings was just a pleasant addition. I'm curious though, has Fruit Chan done anything else for me to look into?

the first two of his 1997 trilogy are worth looking into (basically tied into the impending turmoil of handover of Hong Kong back to China)

Made in Hong Kong is a work about disenfrachisement, aloofness and alienation of the youth

The Longest Summer is about discarding old guards of the British system and absorption into the crazy laissez faire world of China and it's a great heist movie to boot

haven't seen the third one

Put both on my list.

Also, just watched 'Enter The Void', and was disappointed. I mean, the visuals were truly amazing, and the story was kind of put together ok. Problem was, the story was so simplistic, and I felt the beating over the head with 3 hours of Freudian "leaving mother, leaving innocence" metaphors was a bit excessive. Could have been easily half the length without the bizarre psychedelic porn, and scenes that seemed to establish points made 80 times earlier.

Essentially, a potentially great file destroyed by it's insanely pretentious excesses.

Haxan - Film classic, and rightfully so. Albeit, the 'medical comparison' bit in the end of the movie was ridiculously outdated, makes for an interesting social commentary.
