Tokyo 2021: 'Arisaka' Review

A lone, injured cop is fighting for her life in the middle of the forest, hunted down by some bad dudes. Can she make it out alive? For Screen International, I reviewed the Filipino action-thriller Arisaka, which I wish I liked better.

Tokyo 2021: 'Hommage' Review

This was a fun discovery. Hommage concerns a 40-something director (Parasite's Lee Jung-eun) who fears her career has reached an impasse. Desperate for money, she takes a gig restoring a film from the early 1960s. The director feels a kinship to the dead woman who made the 50-year-old movie. It's a lovely, understated drama, and my review is up at Screen International.
