13. Five Flavours Asian Film Festival: Every Balloon Must Burst
The Tibetan creator is looking at the conflict arising from the meeting of customs, beliefs and conservative culture with Chinese one-child policy.
13. Five Flavours Asian Film Festival: Nothing But Singing
Bulbul Can Sing talks about the tragedy of lost youth, taken by the conservative society. Adolescence, although it follows its natural path – the first, innocent love affairs, looks, and meetings – is brutally stopped.
13. Five Flavours Asian Film Festival: Through the Stomach to the Heart
Although SABU follows the well trodden paths – a portrait of an emotional killer is nothing new – he does it at the highest level, combining genres at least as efficiently as Bong Joon-ho (Parasite, Snowpiercer) and proving that using and playing with old clichés and narrative patterns do not have to be something bad.
13. Five Flavours Asian Film Festival: Fruit Chan, slums and prostitutes
Fruit Chan relishes violence in his film. Although he himself claims that his film is not anti-feminist, it’s hard not to get the impression that it is at least offensive. Heroes do not cause sympathy. This is a problem because they deviate from the norm. One is a cripple, the other a fool, the third a nitwit. It is the same different world we have met in the artist’s earlier films. This time, however, it is a world that causes more contempt than compassion or interest.
13. Five Flavours Asian Film Festival: #metoo in giallo style
