Happy Weekend

This is the second of a two-part trailer post – the first part is here.

In big news, the organisers of the Osaka Asian Film Festival 2023 have announced the majority of its programme. Check out Variety to read more. I’ve watched a lot of films for the festival and I’m writing about them. Without going into detail, there’s a good selection but what stands out for me are a few of the Hong Kong films and some of the Japanese indies. I’m looking forward to sharing more about them as the festival approaches and gets underway.

In terms of what I have been watching outside of OAFF 2023 films, I have burned through some noir films, a BBC mockumentary from the 90s, and lots of Hong Kong 80s action flicks:

Kiss Me Deadly, Iron Angels 2, Ghostwatch, She Shoots Straight, and They Came to Rob Hong Kong.

What other films were released this weekend?
