A Woman, A Gun and A Noodle Shop. That is a title. In an era where it seems every single successful foreign film is snapped up by Hollywood and repackaged for people who can't be bothered to read subtitles (cough*Americans*cough), it is refreshing to see it go the other way. Blood Simple, a relatively small 'Coen Brothers' movie from the 90's, is being given the Asian treatment. Now to me, this is how you do a remake. You are essentially telling the same story, but it is in a unique and engaging way. I'm hoping the QFT run a print of this later in the year. What do you guys think?
It's not quite Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Place, but it looks good. Also nice to see the mentalist from Mongol playing another badass.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it, am a sucker for quirky Asian movies. Jean Luc Godard did once say all you need for a movie is a girl and a gun. This is definitely on the right track!
