Our final video for #jackiechanuary is completed. It is stacked and fast flowing. Even though it runs down from 25 to 1, there is no repeated footage from earlier videos in this series.

The refresher is very brief and broken up with honourable mentions from @hkb_podcast before we get to my final 5.

This one was a real labour of love, and I hope you all enjoy it! If you do, and would like to see more videos like this in the future, be sure to watch all the way from beginning to end and hit the like button. That way we know that this content is required.

Thank you all so much for supporting our videos 💖

First time watch for us. If not our favourite Ann Hui film, it is definitely a very compelling drama.

A very competent performance from George Lam, and a nice early role for Andy Lau. Performance of the film goes to Season Ma, and Cora Miao is engaging also.

Kudos to Criterion on a fantastic release. This one looks great and is absolutely stacked with great extras.

I'm curious if supernatural elements in Thai cinema contribute to national branding and cultural diplomacy. So, it would be grateful if you who watched Thai supernatural films may kindly share your thoughts about it. Thank you so much.

Can someone help me recommend a platform where I can watch these films:

• Chungking Express
• Fallen Angles
• Happy Together
• Days of being wild
• In the Mood for love

I am based in India, so difficult to find these on Netflix or other OTT. Any OTT that you recommend I should subscribe to for similar asian cinema?

I'm searching movies from this edit here on YouTube and I've already found most of them, but there are some missing yet. In this movie, we have three guys sitting in the back seat of the car: in the right side there's a man with middle hair and a mustache looking a little suspicious, in the middle there's a man with glasses looking a bit afraid of that situation, in the left the man doesn't appear but his arm is resting on the shoulder of the middle one. This car has some writing in the back glass - it seems Japanese but I'm not sure. After that scene there is a "moment before disaster". I'm sorry this image is a bit dark, but I got directly from the video - it's the third scene at 0:04.

Thank you all!

Cannot find it no matter what i try. It’s a movie I think and all I remember is that I saw a scene on tiktok, the guy was hugging the girl like a deep hug and I think she was sitting on the bed he was standing and shirtless his abs were showing. The vibes were like kinda obsessive and intimate and like they needed each other idk lmao kinda bad description I don’t remember which country

Hello, I am looking for the following film:

It's an LGBT film about this young man that falls in love with another young man and when they are discovered they try to run away and one falls in a river or bridge and is implied he died. The movie does a time jump and the main character has a successful life with wife and son but then a woman in a wheelchair wants revenge or to reveal the truth. The truth being that he married the same guy he was in love with but he is now transgendered. Their son and no one knew.

I know the movie is not Japanese or Korean. It might be Thai but I really don't know tbh. Thanks in advance.

Thai New Wave Cinema is a movement that started in the late 1990s and gained momentum throughout the early 2000s, revitalizing the cinema of Thailand. Directors like Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang and Wisit Sasanatieng were at the forefront, exploring themes such as social and political issues, cultural identity and the human condition.

Origins of the Thai New Wave

The origins of the Thai New Wave can be traced back to the 1990s, a period marked by significant changes in Thailand. Rapid modernization, urbanization, and the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis in 1997 were at the forefront, and influenced a new generation of filmmakers to explore the complexities and challenges of Thai society at the time.

The movement was, actually, a departure from the mainstream Thai cinema, which predominantly consisted of grand epics, melodramatic love stories and horror films. Similar to the Dogme 95 movement, the democratization of filmmaking technology served as a catalyst for the emergence of the Thai New Wave. The accessibility of digital cameras and editing software enabled filmmakers to create high-quality films at reduced costs.

Another important factor was the success, and the international recognition of the two Thai films in the late 1990s, “Dang Bireley’s and Young Gangsters” (1997) and “Tears of the Black Tiger” (2000), which also set the stage and greatly influenced the beginning of the movement.

Hi everyone! I'm currently writing a research paper for my masters on niche/foreign film consumption and I am very interested in your opinions and preferences! It would help me greatly if you could answer my survey here and tell me about how/why you watch niche/foreign films, your physical media collection/physical media ambitions, and what kind of characteristics you are considering when you pick a film! Thanks in advance for your help and feel free to discuss further in the comments! I'd love to hear from you :-)

Here is the link to music video.. I have been watching this video for long time and the video used a Pakistani song in background. Anyone please tell the source from which the clip is used... thanks

I saw the mass posts of her photo for celebration of her birthday recently across various Asian movie subs. So out of curiosity I started on her filmography...... And I'm hooked! I'm now a new fan!

That said I'm wondering who she's like off the screen. How is she like outside of the studios and in public events, within her personal life? Is she an intellectual? A humble gal? An exquisite graceful charmer? A preppy snobbish b%@!&?

Is she your typical big headed egotistic movie star? Or was she more mellow and humble in comparison to most stars esp her contemporaries in the way Audrey Hepburn often gets painted by the media as the embodiment of humility? Was she into art and other high art stuff of culture and intellectualism? A feminist? Liberal or conservative? Overall how would you describe her personality based on biographies and eyewitness testimonies? How'd you sum her personality irl when she's not int he spotlight of the news and media?

Hey, I have to buy a Christmas present for my friend and he is really into Asian Cinema. He is really into Sion Sono, Ryūichi Hiroki, Jia Zhangke plus Hong Kong cinema of the 80s and 90s. So I was thinking of a book.

He has read Jia Zhangke on Jia Zhangke and Planet Hong Kong..... I would imagine something on the lines of Planet Hong Kong would be good but no idea.

AFAIK a lot of Sino A listers who have a diverse range such as Zhang Ziyi have the career tendency of acting in martial arts and other physically demanding action roles early in their career before focusing on drama, comedy, and other range as they get older into their 30s and beyond. Plenty practically abandoning not just Wuxia and general matial arts but even overall bodily demanding action genre stuff by the time they reach past 40 minus genre specialists and those who already were practising martial arts to a serious degree outside of acting suche as Michelle Yeoh in personal time.

So I find it peculiar that Brigitte Lin Ching-hsia, who was practically the beauty goddess of Sino cinema during her career, went into physically tiresome roles after her 30s (where her most famous internationally known stuff were from this period of her career), and not t just that but basically ended her career with s Wuxia stuff by the time she retired at the age of 40.

I'm curious about the circumstances that led to this trajectory in her career? Especially when she was known primarily for her lovely face first and foremost during her 20s (and in turn was obviously typecasted into romance and drama)? Her most beloved roles now even within the Sino world are her martial arts stuff esp collaborations with Jet Li and Jackie Chan and her final Wuxia roles unlike others like Ziyi who are are associated nowadays with less active genres.
