Film Comment Selects, Part 1 of 2 posts

Thanks P, you beat me to it. I've also seen the 3 Korean films hengcs mentioned along with Samira Makhmalbaf's At Five in the Afternoon. Unfortunately, I didn't find any of them truly deserving to be included in this series. Memories of Murder is slightly better than average, but Old Boy is one of the most overrated films I've seen recently . The award it won at Cannes was mostly because of Tarantino.

2 films I'm looking forward to are Clean, and Los Muertos from Argentinian youngster Lisandro Alonso, remember this name! Hopefully I'll get the chance to see them.
