the production and presentation details for both our in-theater and online virtual screenings, we also continue to work to ensure that we have left no stone unturned when it comes to the films we offer each year. When you have an opportunity to add one of the year’s top award winners, an anniversary of a signature film, another film with a true icon of cinema front and center, and another world premiere, then you just have to do it.

Well, that can’t help but add an amazing exclamation point on everything!

Scott and Grey are so, so good that it’s their dynamic that matters. As a dictionary-obsessed only child, Scott spits out ten-dollar vocabulary words with hilarity and accuracy, while Grey portrays a powerful woman who may get irritated with less-enlightened folks but rarely sees herself as any kind of victim.

Hong Khaou’s MONSOON: Review from OUT ON FILM 2020; a reprieve from the loudness of modern cinema

By Tony Ruggio 5 years ago

What stuck with me beyond themes of cultural identity or expat aimlessness were Khaou’s images, often colorful and symmetrical, emphasizing the spaces around Kit, around Vietnam where new capitalism is fast encroaching on old traditions.
