Thread derail!!! Is this any good? I might watch it but I'm rather cautious about movies that reek of orientalism.

It's great, definitely watch it.

no

but for the actual movie, it was funny they all had the same luggage and it was numbered, but the lv print was weak

Yeah... I usually don't turn on my "orientalism" spidersense on things that're made by other asians or are made in said country... the only things that really tick me off are shit like "geisha" or "last samurai" and even those are movies well recieved by general public... meh

Plus I will watch any movie where Tony Leung is doing his regular mack-daddy-asian-man thang.

it's funny cause tonny leung used to be kinda ugs.

[polishmike]

I think in 'Lust, Caution' Tonny Leung's hair makes him more evil and even more ugly but the result is outstanding. His acting is so top notch that it's even hard to see that he's wearing. Even when he took of his jacket he looked fantastic.

Oh and as for really-really-fashion-related DVD's here are some reccomendations:

Unzipped:

Mizrahi in his most tired, sincere, and well... candid portrayal on media. I like this better than his show. Focuses on an artisan's process than on fashion as a whole.

Seamless:

Great stuff, interviews of Doo-Ri and Alexander P. of Cloak sold it for me. Another look into how unglamerous it is to be a fashion designer, especially if you're up-and-coming.

Yves Saint Laurent:

Got it as a gift... haven't seen it yet.

Notebook on Cities and Clothes:

Yohji... need I say more? I probably could if I actually watched it. Anyone seen this yet?

http://www.amazon.com/Notebook-Cities-Clothes-Yohji-Yamamoto/dp/B00006LPC7/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1196295159&sr=1-12

I wish I knew of more... I know there're a few A&E biography specials about versache and all that but I really wish each fashion house would have a special DVD made every other year... or for each anniversary. I guess I've gotta read their books waaah.

his ugly peak was at it's summit in hardboiled.

I agree but i think he's still very comfortable in the ugly end of the scale. Great actor, nonetheless. To be honest for me he has to be one of the best if not the best.

he is a great actor. i don't really think that alot of his roles would be 2 challenging for any other professional though....maybe it's just his aura/vibes that attract alota fans...i dunno

[masuerte]

Oh and I just saw YET another stylish distopian alternate future/world movie:

and another:

... there's just something about ralph fienness... even in harry potter he looked rather well tailored.

I don't think he has that many fans that are not asian. Many people don't know him. I think in movies like 'In the Mood for Love' and 'Lust, Caution' I appreciated his under-acting more and they way he interacts with other characters. (no homo)

pierrot le fou (1965)

[kpnv]

all the wkw movies mentioned and still no Chungking Express?

[slight]

I'd have to go with Stalker

[Guest jmatsu]

if anyone has the soundtrack please let me know. thanks.

[Servo2000]

I'd have to go with Stalker

I really want to see this movie but I can't find it anywhere and I don't feel like buying it. I really need to sign up for one of those "movies in the mail" whatevers.

[polishmike]

[enatoka]

swing and a miss

no homo.

[superdupersang]

oldboy, esp that 4 piece exploding walk in wardrobe.

I think Ocean's 12 belongs here cuz of Brad Pitt's awesome coat.

style over substance.

[Guest jmatsu]

[evisu 2000]

that is the worst box cover/poster i've ever seen, especially for such a good movie. surely you could've found a better oneeeeee?????????????

[masuerte]

Six String Samurai... I'm trying to get back to a more dancy pants loose high waist thing for a suit.

Can't help but love these glasses:
