Legendary cinematographer Kimura Daisaku's second directorial venture will takes us to Tateyama Mountain Range, the heart of Japan's snow country. Given his fondness for such locations, we might expect a lot of beautiful and unforgettable views in a sentimental and heartfelt film that centers around a rebellious man who goes back to his homeland after hearing about his father's sudden death.Matsuyama Kenichi (Death Note, Norwegian Wood), one of the most prominent Japanese actors working today, plays the lead in this live-action adaptation of Sasamoto Ryohei's critically acclaimed 2011 novel Haru wo Seotte (literally Carrying Spring).

Věra Chytilová, The First Lady Of Czech Cinema, Has Passed

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 02:30 PM PDT

Czech New Wave director Věra Chytilová passed away earlier this week, on March 12, according to the Prague Post. She was 85 years old. Chytilová is best known to international cinephiles as the master mind behind Daisies, the rambunctious, undefinable and yet most succinctly crazy anti-statement statement I can imagine. While many of Chytilová's films are not well known outside of her home territory, she was a key player in the 1960s Czech cinema, otherwise known as the Czech New Wave, along with the likes of Miloš Forman and Jiří Menzel. The success of Daisies led to The Fruits Of Paradise which was met with hostility from the occupation just as the so-called Prague Spring was being promptly axed. It was another seven years before...

SXSW 2014 Review: DOC OF THE DEAD Is A Worthwhile History Of The Zombie

Posted: 15 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT

If you're anything like most genre film freaks, you probably looked at the title, rolled your eyes, and muttered "not another zombie flick" between clenched teeth. Don't worry: no one will hold it against a film buff who says that the world of popular culture has been absolutely stuffed to the brim and beyond with all things zombie. There are zombie comic books, zombie video games, zombie facebook apps, and of course, more zombie movies than you can shake a rotting, brains-eating stick at. It's no small wonder, then, that Doc of the Dead manages to stay fresh and entertaining for (most of) its entire running time. This nonfiction entry from director Alexandre Phillippe, who brought us 2010's The People Vs George Lucas, gets into...
