Movie: Running Turtle (Lee Yeon-Woo, 2009, South Korea, 117 min.) 
Date: Feb 6, 2010
Rating: 
(uncomplicated fun; excellent closing movie for my 2010 festival)
Plot: Jo Pil-seong, a rural detective, is an unhappy husband, often blamed by his older wife for gambling. He finally gets lucky and wins a large bet, but then his winnings are stolen by a criminal on the run. And So The Chase Begins..
Cast: Nice cast, everyone above par.
Visuals: It’s a gangster chase comedy, nothing special on the visual side.
Conclusion: Had a lot of fun watching the movie. Nothing too deep, complicated or serious, just the right movie to close the festival.

(Takeshi Kitano in brilliant role as an EpicBastard)
Plot: Epic story about a Korean man who took the boat to Japan and starts a family and a business. The only thing: the man is a cruel bastard from beginning to end.
Cast: My favorite actor, Takeshi Kitano’s is playing the lead and if you’ve ever seen the man perform, you’ll know how well he can portray a complicated and interesting brute.
Visuals: Reminded me of the Epic Movies done by the Italian directors in the 70s. Nice style, lots of great scenery and interesting shots/angles of the characters and their situations.
Conclusion: Not a new release, loved a chance to see Kitano act again without him needing to express his personal frustrations as a film maker.
By the way: the bastards at Pathe Schouwburg should be flogged within an inch of their lives for not repairing the climate control in the theatre/baking oven.
