Viewing Notes

FF2011 Day Six: Film #2 - my 2nd film of the day I spent with Tak Sakaguchi’s latest sci-fi comedy crime thriller… and generally enjoyed the hi-jinx on display including the incredible long take fight sequence. Tak was there to talk about the film and it was so great to meet him and thank him for his work. Really love that guy. I’ll watch anything he’s in or does.
