		<description><![CDATA[What does a Kurosawa film sound like? Is it the metallic whoosh of swords, or the peal of temple bells. Or is it all about the music, a martial theme, or a spare and cold Toru Takemitsu soundtrack? Perhaps it&#8217;s about both. Both sound design and musical soundtrack in Stray Dog are remarkable throughout. There’s [...]]]></description>

Not even with a giant machete in hand. I&#8217;m sorry. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At some point in Brillante Mendoza&#8217;s controversial film Kinatay, there&#8217;s a brief and unexpected shot of something one rarely sees in the usual squalor of a Mendoza film: a postcard-pretty image of a Manila Bay sunset, complete with palm tree and silhouetted spectators. It&#8217;s surprising, and almost out of place – but it is, after [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Look: if you&#8217;re a Thai director who chooses to begin your film with a static shot of jungle foliage swaying in the wind, then proceeds with a languid, dreamlike narrative &#8212; well, it seems to me like asking for a bit of trouble.

		<description><![CDATA[I struck gold immediately with my first viewing at the 53rd San Francisco International Film Festival, Ounie Lecomte&#8217;s beautifully understated debut, A Brand New Life (Yeo-haeng-ja). (See preview here.) I can see audiences responding positively to this (I’m hoping for wider distribution), for its unfussy plainness is easy to like – and that’s not necessarily [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’d forgotten – particularly amidst all the remembrances of the depth of his humanism, his experiment with narrative in Rashomon (1950), the magisterial sweep of his epics – how surprisingly… well, goofy, Akira Kurosawa’s sense of humor seemed to be. Take a scene in Sanjuro, the underrated companion to the undisputed 1961 classic Yojimbo. It’s no [...]]]></description>
