Thirst
(Chan-wook Park; South Korea; 2009; 133 min)

Sat., Nov. 7, 9:30 @ Regent Square
Thu., Nov. 12, 9:00 @ Regent Square
Already getting some of the best reviews of the year, and a box-office smash in Korea, this sexy vampire comedy earned the Prix du Jury at the 2009 Cannes film festival. The darkly humorous story is about a devout priest who takes part in an experiment seeking a cure for a terrible disease. The experiment fails and after coming back from the dead, the priest begins to crave human blood. Changes in his mind and body lead him into an erotic affair with another man's wife, as he descends further into acts of depravity. Thirst brings fresh blood to the genre. "[D]aring, operatic, and bloody funny." – Entertainment Weekly. With subtitles. (Chan-wook Park; South Korea; 2009; 133 min) Presented in collaboration with Silkscreen Asian Film Festival.

Tahaan
(Santosh Sivan; India; 2008; 105 min)


Sat., Nov. 14, 4:45 @ Regent Square
Mon., Nov. 16, 7:00 @ Regent Square
Audiences all over the world are raving about this beautiful story:
the adventures of a little boy and his family who live in the militant Kashmir valley. Tahaan lives with his mother and grandfather while hoping for the safe return of his missing father. When the family's finances reach a dire state, the pet donkey is seized. But 8-year-old Tahaan is nothing if not tenacious and he embarks on a treacherous journey to get the donkey back, naively getting pulled into a terrorist plot to sneak a grenade across a military checkpoint. This festival hit will melt your heart. With subtitles. (Santosh Sivan; India; 2008; 105 min)

Still Walking
(Hirokazu Kore-Eda; Japan; 2009; 114 min)


Thu., Nov. 19, 7:00 @ Regent Square
Fri., Nov. 20, 7:00 @ Regent Square
Roger Ebert calls this poignant film "magnificent" and compares the young writer-director to Ozu. Hirokazu Kore-Eda (Afterlife) uses cultural specifics but conjures universal emotions. Japanese families assemble for different occasions than Western ones, but what happens once the various factions gather under the same roof is not so dissimilar. In this delicate comedy-drama, set in an oceanfront Yokohama suburb, three generations convene to mark the 15th anniversary of a favored son's death. Anybody who's ever spent the night at a relative's house will feel the weight of family history that this remarkable film captures so truthfully. With subtitles.
(Hirokazu Kore-Eda; Japan; 2009; 114 min) Presented in collaboration with Silkscreen Asian Film Festival.
