As a very young child, I talked my mom into taking me to see Infra-Man in theaters.

It would be funny to find out years later that the film that inspired my appreciation for Japanese and cinema was in fact NOT from Japan, but instead a production from Hong Kong.

Film of the day:海鷗來過的房間 (KISSING THE GROUND YOU WALKED ON, dir Hong Hang Fei, 2022) Serene tale of coming to terms with one’s limitations and desires, loosely inspired by THE SEAGULL and quite elegantly directed and performed.

I'm very happy "Everything Everywhere All at Once" got nominated for 11 Academy Awards. It's the best movie I've seen in a long time. While reading some of the responses, I saw a comment that pointed to this beautiful piece by Walter Chaw. You should read it too. filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2022/
