Festival du Nouveau Cinéma 2007

Press release actually came out today, as I was just blogging about it yesterday. Not enough time to describe the movies at the FNC this year, but here we go with a non-exhaustive list of stuff to see...

• Ploy, Pen-Ek Ratanaruang (Thaïlande),
• Sperm, Taweewat Wantha (Thaïlande),
• Eye in the Sky, Nai-Hoi Yau (Hong Kong) (has Simon Yam!),
• Dainipponjin, Hitoshi Matsumoto (Japon) (has UA),
• I'm a cyborg but that's ok, Park Chan-Wook (Corée du Sud),
• Sur le Yangzi, Yung Chang (Québec/Canada) (probably the movie I want to see the most, from a personal pov, as the director is a Chinese-Canadian, who went back to China to make a film about his country of origin, namely the Three Gorges Dam and the people that its construction has affected.),
• Ice Cream, Jean (Leloup) Leclerc (Québec/Canada) (intriguing!),
• Yi Yi, Edward Yang (Taïwan) (tribute to Edward Yang - while Yi Yi is fun, I believe that the movie that made Yang, A Brighter Summer Day, is like Yi Yi without the happy romance - it is supposedly un-findable, b/c of Yang's odd behaviour wrt commercialization of his movies).
