Is it really a year since the last Melbourne International Film Festival? Time flies when you watch hundreds of movies. From August 2 to 19, the MIFF's programming is as flawless as ever.
While MIFF does not focus on Asia as they have done in the past, The Reel Bits has long been focusing on Asia. So we decided to take a closer look at the screening of Asian cinema this winter in Melbourne. Nearly 30 films are from South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, the Philippines, and Indonesia, making it one of the largest festivals to feature multi-Asian Asian content. country in Australia. Of course, we will cover the rest of the program in more detail in the next month.
You can view the rest of the titles and buy tickets (and maybe a pass or two) from the miff. com.au website. You can follow all our coverage through our portal MIFF 2018.

Asako I & II
(Japan, Real: Ryusuke Hamaguchi)
The Happy Hour by Ryusuke Hamaguchi was one of our favorite movies l "Last year, despite (or maybe because) a 5-hour film made a walk in the life of a group of women. Based on Tomoka Shibasaki's novel, he follows Asako (Erika Karata), a young woman from Osaka who falls in love with Baku (Masahiro Higashide). Baku disappears and, two years later, she meets Ryohei (Masahiro Higashide), physically similar but very different from her ex-boyfriend. It's the one we are very excited about, even though it's still 5 hours from the filmmaker.

Outrage Coda
(Japan, Takeshi Kitano)
“That old fashioned gangster definitely served us well,” remarks one character during the climax of the film. For the character of Otomo and director/actor ‘Beat’ Takeshi Kitano alike, truer words were never spoken. It’s the last stand of the old school as a legend brings a bloody, downbeat and completely fitting conclusion to his yakuza saga. READ FULL REVIEW >>>

You know his work. He began his career, as a composer and actor, in Nagisa Oshima’s Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrencewhich should have been the first sign of great things to come. Let’s do some of the list: The Last Emperor, Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, The Little Buddha, The Revenantand of course, Brian De Palma’s Snake Eyes. Director Stephen Nomura Schible shot this over 5 years, and process junkies, cinema lovers, and music aficionados should dig this. So you know, people who are reading this article.

Season of the Devil
(Philippines, Dir: Lav Diaz)
An all-singing love-story-rock-opera set during the Marcos dictatorship? Count us in! It follows poet and activist, Hugo Haniway, who sets off to find his wife, who has disappeared after setting up a village clinic. While it is about half the length of Diaz’s marathon 8-hour A Lullaby to the Sorrowful Mysterythe Filipino director’s latest film still clocks in at an impressive 234 minutes. So plan your bathroom breaks accordingly.

Shoplifters
(Japan, Dir: Hirokazu Kore-eda)
Funny, heartbreaking, and socially aware, Hirokazu Kore-eda once again shows his mastery of demonstrating the subtle way in which humans do human things. Kore-eda has assembled one of his strongest casts to date, with family and new faces alike pulling in award-worthy performances. Put simply, this is another masterpiece from the king of intimate family dramas. Read full Review >>>

In this time of tense relations with North Korea, this film is based on the true story of…well, you get the idea. Set just prior to the 1997 elections for the South Korean President, the film previously known as Operation stars Hwang Jung-Min, Lee Sung-Min, Cho Jin-Woong, and Ju Ji-Hoon. If you miss it at MIFF, it makes its way to selected Australi an cinemas on 23 August 2018 anyways!

Tampopo
(Japan, Dir: Juzo Itami)
Largely recognised as one of the most popular Japanese films of the 20th century, it will certainly leave you craving a bowl of ramen. This 1985 classic piece of Japanese cinema plays in revival with a new 4K restoration at the Astor. It’s a kind of Western in which a roving band of ronin are on a quest to find the perfect ramen. There’ll even be a one-of-a-kind vegetarian ramen for guests. Our mouths are watering already.

The Third Murder
(Japan, Hirokazu Kore-eda)
Hirokazu Kore-eda opens his twelfth narrative feature, with a murder and a body being burned. The darkly moody and stylised opening is a stark contrast not only with the intimate family portraits of the last few decades, but also with the precise confines of the legal thriller that follows.

A familiar tale of revenge gets a unique spin in what amounts to a Western by way of Chinatown. So…Rango? Or Kurosawa. Handsomely shot with a powerfully moody score.
