Trivia
The title "8 Winds" comes from the following 13th Century Buddhist scroll: "Worthy persons deserve to be called so because they are not carried away by the eight winds: prosperity, decline, disgrace, honor, praise, censure, suffering, and pleasure. They are neither elated by prosperity nor grieved by decline. The heavenly gods will surely protect one who is unbending before the eight winds."

A quirky neo noir find!

I love this quirky film! It has a slow burn so that when you are drawn into the story, as you will be, you forget its budget limitations. Once it gets going it grabs your attention as small and important clues are revealed in unexpected places.

It is at once a Hitchcockian political thriller and a story of love and sacrifice. It reminds me a lot of Chinatown, The Long Goodbye, and Antonioni's The Passenger.

Also there is such great chemistry between the two lead actors that you really have someone to root for.

Robert Davi! He turns in an incredible performance with such nuances and vulnerability, it is some of his best work IMHO.

There is also some wonderful cinematography that creates pure cinematic poetry.
