Trivia
"Saturday Film" originally debuted in competition at Venice in 2019 and was set to premiere in China soon after as the opening film of the country's highly politicized government-run Golden Rooster Film Festival. It was yanked without warning from the line-up the night before due to unspecified "internal production problems" and replaced by a low-budget documentary about traditional bamboo flutes.

Brilliant Spy Story

The critics who didn't like this film should take a second look. This is one of the best espionage movies of all time. It can be hard to decipher who is working for whom, but that is likely true of real spies. It has strong echoes of Casablanca but it also illuminates contemporary politics. The cinematography is gorgeous. The acting is tremendous. A must see.
