As I state in the opening preamble of this month's Foyeurism, I'm in the process of moving and kind of had to slap together a Foyeurism at the last minute since I ran out of time finishing up the one I originally had in mind.

I had to watch the film in 3 sittings as the documentary was not an easy watch -- the film slowly peeled...
...acts of senseless violence, beauty, or both. Crash , too, and Hustle and Flow , not to mention Capote, each used this theme. So, too, have Michael Haneke's films (though not always involving gun barrels and bullets); the Dardenne brothers , Gus Van Sant's Elephant , and countless other films which, for the past ten or fifteen years, have...
...acts the way that its marketed a low budget short horror flick that is wonderfully acted. The flashback begins and it annoys every little bone in my body. If you are going to market a film, market it CORRECTLY. It becomes outrageously stupid to the point that it actually becomes annoying. Why market a film as a horror film when it becomes a...

What grabbed me right off was her position regarding shifting the critical anchoring of ethnic identity away fromas she has written"questions of representation (image as source of meaning) to those of performance (actor as enunciative agent) and Asian...
