| If
we ever feel scorned as movie eaters by the exquisite lovers of forum
and arthouse films, we’d fly as our flag the name of Chen Kuo-Fu,
expert in Hitchcock, experienced critic, excellent creator of special
effects, whose genre movies -the fantasy genre of course, but others too-
wander with pomp and circumstance through the different sections of festivals
as tremendous as the Cannes festival. And quite rightly too. This, his
latest title, is a big production by Columbia’s Asian Department
in which the highest technology, the most lethal too, is put at the service
of divine-diabolic sects who believe that immortality is achieved through
illness, pain and horror. |
