Sound On Sight Radio #220: The Very Best Of Asian Cinema
Castaway On The Moon
The Clone Returns Home
Three of the most interesting films of the last 12 months are probably not coming to a theater near you. They’re highlights from the last two Fantasia Film Festivals’ Asian programs, and you might need to do a bit of hunting to track them down. Two are Japanese – the rock n’ rooll tall tale Fish Story and the ethereal sci-fi epic The Clone Returns Home – and the other, a peculiar and beguiling comedy called Castaway on the Moon, hails from South Korea.
