This month has a very definite oriental flavour, starting with no less than two Asian Westerns competing for our attention: in the ridiculously enjoyable The Good, The Bad, The Weird<\/I><\/A>, Kim Ji-woon does Leone Korean-style while Takashi Miike takes on another 60s Italian cult classic in Sukiyaki Western Django<\/I><\/A>. In our interview with Kim Ji-woon<\/A>, the director explains all about ‘kimchi Western’ and why this spicy cabbage dish is the perfect symbol for Korean people. <\/p>\n

For the second year running, the ICA is hosting Reality Fiction<\/A>, a season of Japanese films inspired by real-life events. And if that’s not enough Asian thrills there is also the DVD release of the controversial Korean thriller The President’s Last Bang<\/I><\/A> and the Shaw Brothers’ classic kung fu movie The 36th Chamber of Shaolin<\/I><\/A>. <\/p>\n

In other cinema releases, Nuri Bilge Ceylan returns with Three Monkeys<\/I><\/A>, the eagerly awaited follow-up to Climates<\/I>, the British thriller Franklyn<\/I><\/A> experiments with an innovative hybrid of real-life drama and fantasy, and Jean-Claude Van Damme plays himself in the bizarre, hilarious, sincere, self-reflexive JCVD<\/I><\/A>. On DVD, Kim Longinotto’s Divorce Iranian Style<\/I><\/A> takes a warm and honest look at the lives of Iranian women. And we have a feature on the thoroughly brilliant West London Fantastic Film Society<\/A>.<\/p>\n

In Short Cuts, we have a report on the Club des Femmes<\/A> strand of the London Short Film Festival while songsmith Eugene McGuinness<\/A> tells us about some of the films that have impressed him. <\/p>\n
