Gacha BOY WRESTLING WITH A MEMORY

Directed by Norihiro Koizumi, Japan 2008, 120 '
Rating: 5

Colorful, cartoony, fun, movingly. I tried on the final that same feeling I had in seeing the first Rocky, the feeling that the whole room shouted mentally the name of the protagonist to make him. Igarashi, Igarashi, Igarashi, Igarashi!
deserved the first prize is awarded to the public.

TA PU
Director: Wang Wei, China, 2007, 95 '
Rating: 3

Manufactured by a production house Chinese government, the Sichuan Emei Film Studio, the film written, directed, edited and played by Wang, is set in China in the seventies, during the resumption of university education (interrupted by the Cultural Revolution of 1966-1976).
Delicate, sheer, ironic to see. With slowly.

SPARROW

Directed by Johnnie To, Hong Kong, 2008, 87
Rating: 2

The acclaimed Johnnie To does not meet my expectations. The movie contains very enjoyable, but taken as a whole ... there is something out of place and end the thread that ties the whole movie is broken. We move from scene to "Dancing in the rain" (see the beginning of the film), a disturbing scenes (like the ceiling of cages full of birds), the hilarious scenes (of the four pickpockets), the suggestive scenes in the Matrix (stolen-passport in the rain).

Peeping Tom

Directed by Yoshihiro Fukagawa, Japan, 2007, 110 '
Score: 1

L' "erotic drama" of the festival disappoint my expectations. Imagination and reality merge, but does not unravel. Although it probably was the goal of the director.

LOVE OF SIAM
Directed by Chookiat Sakweerakul, Thailand, 2007, 158 '
Rating: 5

Yes, I admit, I was moved, I cried. The young Thai director has skillfully woven a story that could not fail to move audiences. The public is not necessarily as a teenager might suggest the movie poster. Behind the plot more clear, the delicate love story between two male protagonists of the film unfolds a story even more poignant, raw and real, that of a family who can not get up after the death of her daughter.

GONE SHOPPING

Directed by Li Lin Wee, Singapore, 2007, 97 '

Score: 1

Apart from the perfection of the image (HD), the film does not convince me. Movies Channel 5 afternoon.

FOREVER THE MOMENT

Directed by Yim Soon-rye, South Korea, 2008, 124 '

Rating: 3

It tells the story (true) of South Korean women's team at the Olympics in 2004. Nice movie, a bit 'too romanticized.
