FILMED IN ETHER
Filmed in Ether is dedicated to quality discussion around Asian cinema. Interviews, reviews, features and video essays exist here, inthe ether.
EVERY EPISODE OF GIRL FROM NOWHERE, RANKED 2. Hi-So (S01E04, dir. Khomkrit Treewimol) Few episodes of television are as bold as Girl From Nowhere ‘s fourth episode, ‘Hi-So’. Before the opening titles kick in, Nanno speaks directly to the audience and makes it clear that wealth and privilege are the source of this episode’s concerns. A GUIDE TO JAPAN’S MODERN WOMEN DIRECTORS A Guide to Japan’s Modern Women Directors. Levin Tan November 13, 2019 Features. This article was created in partnership with Japanese Film Festival Australia. The festival will tour nationally from October – December 2019. For more information, visit the festival website. All over the world, female filmmakers are slowly making theirdebut.
REVIEW: APOCALYPSE CHILD The recent recipient of Five Flavours Film Festival’s People’s Jury Main Award, Apocalypse Child is a compelling tragedy that showcases the acting talent of the cast, the story smarts of the screenplay and the filmmaking skills of the director and other key crew. It doesn’t perfectly wrap up all its loose ends but as theysay, it’s the
REVIEW: THE SILENCED Review: The Silenced. Like The Handmaiden, The Silenced is a Gothic story about female oppression and how its protagonists struggle and fight against it. It all starts with the title. Its English language title “ The Silenced ” literally implies that the girls at the centre of this story are the “silenced REVIEW: BROTHERHOOD OF BLADES Review: Brotherhood of Blades. The Chinese period action film Brotherhood of Blades, written and directed by Lu Yang, is a film that deserves to be highly praised. While I certainly expected there to be plenty of fight scenes to keep me thoroughly entertained, I didn’t expect to grow so fond of the film’s three leads. PAINTING HUMANITY: THE REALITY OF ISAO TAKAHATA Painting Humanity: The Reality of Isao Takahata. Isao Takahata sat in the passenger’s side of a car with only one thing looming on his mind. He was in the middle of production of his latest film, his first in nearly fourteen years, and a film crew was documenting the filmmaker’s process – resulting in the 2013 documentary, IsaoTakahata
'STRAY DOG', 70 YEARS LATER: REMEMBERING KUROSAWA'S Transitioning from regret, disgust, to guilt, Murakami’s once feverish attitude — for a moment — disappears. All that’s left is a man lost in a fog. If Kurosawa’s talent as a director made Stray Dog a great film, it’s Mifune’s equally measured talent as SEXISM, SEIFUKU & SISTERHOOD: A CLOSER LOOK AT TOKYO IDOLS Within the Melbourne International Film Festival’s programming this year were two films that closely examined the lives of young women in modern day Japan through the filter of pop culture: Kyoko Miyake’s documentary, Tokyo Idols, and Daigo Matsui’s latest feature, Japanese Girls Never Die. With Miyake’s documentary, she dismantles Japan’s idol culture by capturing the rise of oneREVIEW: KITA KITA
Though it takes some time, Kita Kita reaches these places eventually, traversing the tragedy of love deftly and mercilessly. Unrequited love is a weird emotion; it is part nostalgia, part sadness, part warm and fuzzy and somewhat beautiful in its emptiness. All of this is experienced and the cheesy build up to these moments arecontextualised
