The Family That Eats Soil 2005
A family's hapunan sponsored by extreme cinema and dated values. I find the episodic flow of this too disjointed for me to care about the experimentation and visuals on-screen. It wears out its latter set-pieces; self-indulging in sometimes amusing stupidity to make the most of its icky atmosphere. Also that dad looks like Gaspar Noé.

Swing Girls 2004
Meeting jazz. Food poisoning the brass band. Accidentally killing a boar and getting rewarded for it. Selling a Playstation console for instruments. Everyone in the cast whose character plays their respective instruments learned for real behind the scenes. Hawaii. The brilliant chemistry. Small and giant landing comedic moments. Slacking to swinging. And a boy. Pure joy, just teenagers making themselves and the world better through musical influence. Jazz mouse. The hyperactive energy of Dance With Me may win over me more, but Swing Girls takes it's joyful veins in a slightly more understated route, one that goes into specially unique and rewarding ones.

Made in Hong Kong 1997
Fruit Chan is like the angrier Wong Kar-wai. Psychological love is present but stripped down, and the only thing left is angst. Dreaminess fills the entire film, our characters want to dream, but nihlism eventually takes over and the only reward they get is nothing but shattered hopes and dreams. Features a low-key optimistic version of the cemetary scene from Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind.
