Fallen Very Far

Fallen Angels (1995)
Dir - Kar Wai Wong
AFFD

Here is one of the repertory films I saw that people praised. I don't get it. There are some great moments in this film and I can appreciate some of what Wong did but it just didn't really do it for me. There was some quality, something very mid-90s indie, that just rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe I wasn't in the mood for this type of film at that point in the day. I'll give it a shot some other time and see if my opinion changes.

Dream Home (2010) Wai dor lei ah yut ho
Dir - Ho-Cheung Pang

Oh. My. God.

This movie really just whips it out and slaps you on the face with it. Some truly brutal moments and great make-up FX add to a very interesting tale of the extreme reactions one can have to the crazy housing market/economy. Not sure if/when this will get a US release or if it will be completely uncut. The only way to see it in its full unedited state at the moment is through the French DVD, which is what I watched. I would looooove to see this in a crowded theater full of horror fans to share in the gorehound's delighted reaction. Fantastic Fest 2011? I can dream...
