Yep there's more great films that have came out of Korea than Japan in the last 5 years or so. I Saw the Devil is a must watch IMO. Indeed. And once you get past Miike, Kitamura, Sushi Typhoon and Sono, there aren't many current films to get excited about. However, anyone unfamiliar with the above mentioned should watch all of their films. Unless of course you go back in time, as mentioned, 60's Triad films, 70's Pinku films, and 90's action films are fun. Of course Kurosawa is the master of Japanese cinema and the godfather of all violent film, really. I watched Sono's film Cold fish a few months ago, yet another weird and wonderful film from him.

It played in LA on Friday, with Sono in person talking about it. Disappointed I couldn't be there. The DVD will be out in Japan soon enough, so I'm not too worried.
