    Thanks for the thoughts on Eastern Promises. I think the way you broke down the structure of the script was right on - I wasn't focused enough to figure out why it felt more like a harmony - yes, somehow I felt that it was more of a sketch of the Russian mob in London world in a way that was merely descriptive, up until Viggo fights naked.

    Watching him fight naked was pretty fascinating but really didn't make up for the whole film. I simply felt A History of Violence was, beat for beat, a melody in the opposite sense. All that said, I loved the production design and so many of the creative choices in this film. And I really did love the very sparsely built-up sexual tension between Naomi and Viggo, beginning with his sightings of her on motorcycle and strangely, advancing with that one shot of her sitting in the back of his car - and nicely, being resolved with the kiss over the baby.

    The kiss over the baby reminded me so much the kiss between the two lovers over the husband, in the film 3-Iron. Do you know what I'm talking about? It was even similar in terms of its placement in the film.

    As for the whole baby thing - something about that felt so much more conceptual than real - do you know what I mean? It seemed to reek of symbolism. We never really cared enough about it, yet it was the crux of the whole film.

    Thanks again. So good to hear such incisive thoughts about film.

    I just read about 'What remains' on the factory630.com and then saw the clip. It looks a lovely story. Sibling films always get me going. I hope I get to see it.
    Nice meeting you here Eric
    Regards

    Wow, you should read "As I Lay Dying," because from the little I know about "What Remains," there's a lot of common feeling. Also, Faulkner writes so beautifully, of course. It's from the perspective of sons who are building their mother's coffin, on her wish, as she is actually dying. Yes, Tim was so great to work with - he's so polite and helpful. He also did a fab job on my 2nd year film but I don't think I would show it anywhere unless I did some major recutting and some sound design...had a lot to learn then and still do... let''s see, also, shooting in Taiwan was great. It was just a total overlap of the personal needs I had at the same time of going there and seeing my family, and we actually used the film as a way to get to know and reconnect with many many people. Don't know if I would do it again, though. Though I gotta say, as a Taiwanese American on a small island, you can get hooked up with anyone and everyone. We had 2 emmy award (jinzongjiang) winning actresses audition within the space of only 4 days of phone calls and auditions. We also had the 2nd AC who had just come off Cai Ming Liang's "I Don't Want to Sleep ALone" in Malaysia. Good times.

    trying to blog more and read more blogs lately... as I stew at home with my projects... I liked what you said about Bergman and it reminded me - the first scene I ever saw which made me feel that I understood filmmaking more deeply was in La Notte di Cabiria (Fellini), when Giulietta Masina is standing at the edge of the sparkling water after having been "given it all" and then having it taken away from her. Mostly because it was a repetition of a visual image that had occurred early in the film, but now you understood a whole lifetime of change in seeing her there again. a very moving shot.

    Wow, is that Tim Kang? I worked with him on my second year film. He's great. Would love to see the rest of your film. It looks beautiful.
