An incredible, genre-defying film from Johnnie To that uses Judo as the philosophical foundation for its story of three people looking for more out of life. You see them thrown to the ground repeatedly in its 95 mins, but more than anything, it's a film about the importance of getting back up. Over, and over, and over.
It features a deftly hidden twist and a couple incredibly dynamic sequences (the arcade scene and the night club centerpiece) that I had to rewind and watch again. Outstanding cinematography and inventive choreography in almost every scene, whether it's 4 conversations woven together at once or a 1-on-1 Judo match in the tall grass.
a fuckin romp. this truck driver and his bag man go on an epic quest to save a failing local ramen spot just because they're so offended by how bad the grub is. one of the best food movies ever.
important, powerful, moving and depressing piece about the life of Jordan Neely. It's a critical NYC story and reveals serious flaws in our systems. Also is a thoughtful profile of a truly NYC figure.
Very easy, yummy, good flavor but you can make spicier if you want and add things like shrimp or veggies but at minimum, itβs flavorful broth and tofu
