VENICE LINE-UP ANNOUNCED!!!
Enough babble. Here's Venice's Asian line-up for this year:
IN COMPETITION
Stanley Kwan's Shanghai love story with the reportedly going-nutso Sammi Cheng, EVERLASTING REGRET.
Ang Lee's gay cowboy movie, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.
Park Chan-Wook's made a movie about revenge (really?) and it's here: SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE (but which version - color or black & white?)
OUT OF COMPETITION
Peter Chan's masterful musical, PERHAPS LOVE.
The comic book movie that's eating Asia, INITIAL D.
Takashi Miike's YOKAI DAISENSO (BIG SPOOK WAR) which is supposed to be sheer insanity.
The animated FINAL FANTASY VII.
And some little old Tsui Hark movie called something like SEVEN SWORDS.
This is one of the better Asian line-ups I've seen. Hooray for Venice!

Most likely the full colour version. The "fading" version is only showing at three theaters in Seoul (with DLP projectors). Plus this gives them an excuse to do another round of Festival screening with the other version. :)
Of course this will translate into another Oldboy UE/FE/LE/SE DVD release rush by some "smart" company like Starmax and the like. And I guess I'll buy them all again, since I'm even smarter. Eh.
