I only watched three films this week the first, Breakmode (2014), a Japanese-Korean film about a salaryman chasing after a stolen car in Korea with the aid of his high-kicking Korean colleague. The second was Drugstore Girl (2003), a silly comedy written by Kankuro Kudo about old men drawn into the dog-eat-dog world of lacrosse because they are lusting over a female player. The third film I watched was Caravaggio (1986), a film about the great artist which features performances from a young Tilda Swinton and Sean Bean. In terms of anime, Ore Monogatari!! (oh, the emotions on the latest episode) and the entire series of The Record of Lodoss War, a nice anime with great character designs and a simple story. I also started Baccanno!!, a series I haven’t seen since university.

Anyway, there were two posts this week, the first about the Edinburgh International Film Festival and the second about the Annecy International Animation Festival.

What’s released in cinemas this week?
