Pleasure of watching an art film in local cinema-Vengeance by Johnnie To



I live in Malaysia which isn't exactly a very "artistic" country and most music and movies that get attention/played/air-time/cinema time are all usually mainstream stuffs only,so it was really good that I got to watch Vengeance by Johnnie To(which premiered in Cannes movie festival this year)in the cinema.Me being a fan of Hong Kong cinematography have certainly grown familiar with Johnnie To,I've watched a couple of his movies and can even predict how his movies are going to be cause his style is very particular and I've to say this movie is my favourite from him thus far.And big thumbs up for the cinematography cause I love how moody the movie was captured especially the night scenes.For anyone who wants to try a less commercial and more artsy movie this is definitely a good pick.

I'm watching "Up" later today,I can't remember when was the las time i got enthusiastic about watching an animation (prolly Toy Story 2) but with all the great reviews im expecting an enjoyable sit in cinema
