The Jeonju film festival is currently in full gear. I cannot attend the next two days, but here are a few recommendations for those who can.

Monday: 11:00 DANIELE HUILLET, JEAN-MARIE STRAUB, CINEASTES, Pedro Costa’s tribute to experimental filmmakers Straub and Huillet; 11;30 SHOULD’VE KISSED, the opening night film, if you are more in the mood for a popular movie; 14:30 IN THE SHADOWS, a German Jean Pierre Melville style thriller which I plan on seeing on Thursday; 17:00 POLICE, ADJECTIVE, a Romanian deconstruction of the cop procedural; 17:3o SWIMMING IN NEBRASKA, Jon Jost’s newest, a kind of essay film about life in and around the University of Nebraska; 20:00 IN VANDA’S ROOM, Pedro Costa’s typical blurring of fiction and documentary, telling the continuing story of Vanda, who he previously filmed in OSSOS.

Tuesday: 11:00 THE ROUND-UP, Miklos Jancso’s examination of colonialism and torture, made in 1965 but still very relevant today; 14:00 REC, a Korean feature about a gay couple recording themselves having sex for their 5th year anniversary; 17:30 AURORA, the controversial Filipino film based on a real-life kidnapping case; 20:00 THE COMPLETE METROPOLIS, Fritz Lang’s silent classic with new footage; I’ll be seeing this film on Wednesday, but if you can make it for Tuesday, there may be less crowds.
