i just watched blood simple for the first time wow itâs so good haha jesus christ
now you have to watch the remake
Please tell me there are many more foreign remakes of the Coens oeuvre.
not remakes but the most coen bros. esque chinese director imho is Jiang Wen, hilariously now best known as Donnie Yenâs friend in Rogue One. Let the Bullets Fly especially has the same kind of energy and just enough hatred for its own characters to feel very spicy. His earlier movie Devils on the Doorstep is way darker and I frankly found it incredibly depressing, but in a lot of ways it is still technically a comedy.
Jiang Wen is my favorite Chinese director. I like his big ears.
Wild Goose Lake also hits a tone thatâs similar to the Coens, specifically No Country. Itâs misanthropic and the violence is couched in absurdity.
this was the only film screening of my life in which I chatted up a lady who I wound up going on a date with after
I watched Let the Bullets Fly years ago on your recommendation and loved it.
Definitely recommend Jiang Wenâs works to everyone
yeah that played the festival here last year, it was worse and better than I expected
