Evening of film

I met up with Eric last night. He had an extra ticket for Kontrol, part of the New Directors New Films series. We had agreed to meet up for dinner, but then editing duties kept him at work. I met him at the Walter Reade.

The film had style to spare, but lacked focus. It wasn't quite sure what it wanted to be; it jumped between action, comedy, drama, and romance, not quite convincingly. It was also one of the loudest films I've seen (the loudest was probably The Perfect Storm, which I saw in fantastic theater in Bangkok).

Afterwards we went back down to SoHo for hamburgers at the Broome Street Bar. It's been around the corner from my house for years but I only went for the first time last year. And then it was just for a beer. I had heard good things about the burgers and nachos. I couldn't try both. I had a burger.

Tonight, Eric's film debuts at NDNF, playing before Zhu Wen's South of the Clouds, set in the Yunnan Province of China. I think part of it was shot at Lugu Hu. I can't wait. Posted by eku at March 31, 2005 11:43 AM
