Gong fan

I just saw a showing of this film at TIFF yesterday and it's a solid, beautifully shot movie. It seems to excel when it's minimalist soundtrack meets the nicely done slow motion, most often extreme close up shots. This is balanced out with a few light hearted moments to ease the tension as generally it's a dark movie, especially considering it's Taiwanese (generally producing sugary sweet drama type films as of late). Overall, I'd recommend watching it especially since it should be easy to watch for a foreign film since it's going to be distributed by WB. I stayed around for the Q&A and got a picture with the director after the showing and he seems like a nice, talented guy and should be supported.
