the last of the mohicans - such a great movie that allows any intelligent viewer to appreciate native american culture.

insiang - an old filipino classic starring hilda koronel during her younger days. it's a gem. nowadays an actress/actor portraying a poor, squatter-dwelling role seems like a rich kid doing an immersion in the urabn poor.

Jan Dara. It's a Thai film and I was quite impressed with its cinematography.
Though I find the whole movie boring, well that's just me.

TAMPOPO
IMDb Movie of the Day
A lantern-jawed hero comes to the aid of a widowed restaurateur in Tampopo, a luscious pastiche from director Juzo Itami. Part spaghetti western send-up, part ode to the wonder of food, the primary story centers on Goro (Tsutomu Yamazaki), a trucker coaxed by the lovely Tampopo (Nobuko Miyamoto, Itami's widow) to help transform her dingy restaurant into a three-star ramen house. As Tampopo learns the secrets of making perfect soup - the kind that will make a customers bring the bowl to their mouth - Itami introduces seemingly nonlinear plotlines that heighten the passion: An adventurous man passes an egg yolk from his mouth into the mouth of his eager lover; an old woman goes on a touchy-feely spree in a supermarket; finishing school girls slurp noodles in suggestive a manner. It's a stunning fusion of reference and humor, right down to the memorable end credit shot, and fully representative of Itami's rebellious nature. The director was consumed with unveiling the delicate layers of Japanese society, with his trademark humor on full display. His dedication contributed to his undoing. Years after Tampopo's success, Itami was brutalized by Yakuza members for the way he presented the crime syndicate in his 1992 comedy Minbo no onna. In 1997's Marutai no onna, he skewered Aum Shinrikyo, the doomsday cult behind a nerve gas attack in a Tokyo subway, in what proved to be his last film. A tabloid scandal later that year, accusing Itami of an affair, caused the director to take his own life. As Itami was considered to be Japan's greatest filmmaker since Akira Kurosawa, the loss was immeasurable. - Arno Kazarian

Without a doubt one of the most influential films of all time. Although the story is set in feudal Japan, the story of the masterless samurai is actually symbolic of how Japan, once a country of proud warriors, were humbled and stripped of their honor when they were defeated during WWII and how they were trying to regain their pride once again.
