Lior

Commencing now (reader response page to the Oscar Predictions is at the site) this blog is it until the site proper gets going on again in April. This will be a screening log during the spring hiatus.

If you're in a large city go see WALK ON WATER the new Israeli film from Eytan Fox, director of Yossi & Jagger. Very interesting complex (but accessible) stuff about a Mossad agent and two German siblings.

It stars Lior Ashkenazi who some of you may remember from Israel's 2001 Oscar submission Late Marriage. If you haven't seen Late Marriage forget about anything currently playing in theaters and find it NOW. Great stuff

Okay, quick question. Is 2046 ever going to be released in the US? Do you know? I'm awfully frightened. Netflix.com says the DVD will be available on the 29th of this month, so though I'm happy I get to see it and will probably include it on any top tens I make at the end of this year (I love Wong Kar-Wai too much to leave him out), I would go insane knowing I'd never get to see the film on the big screen.
