Holy Maria indeed! My very first New York Asian Film Fest came to a close Friday evening with the epic 4-hour screening of Sion Sono's uber masterpiece on love, faith, fighting, and up-skirt photography, "Love Exposure."
It is a breath of super cool fresh air, my friends. A film that will get tongues wagging and eyes bulging for a long time to come, and Twitchfilm.net is once again the place for my review. It plays one more show this Tuesday, July 7th, so if you're in the NYC area, get yer ass to Japan Society in Manhattan! UPDATE - It just won the Grand Jury Prize! HOORAY!
Also be sure to check out my coverage on Feng Xiaogang's "If You Are the One" - all time champion of the Chinese box office - as well as full coverage on a host of films by some fine writers and cinephiles. The NYAFF ends today at Japan Society, but a few more Japanese films play under the society's "Japan Cuts" banner until July 12th.
