Good to hear from you.I've loved the Asian cinema of the past 10 or 12 years, and I've been expecially impressed with Chinese films...some really good stuff.
I saw The Emeror & The Assasin in a theater, but watched it again last night. I really liked it, and will probably hunt up a DVD of it.
Taboo was just on last week, either on IFC or Sundance. Don't think Kwaidan has hit cable, although I'd like to see it again.
I'm thrilled Kurosawa is coming out in good editions on DVD. Some theaters (Boston, for one) have been doing a Kurosawa retrospective. Alas, I've had to ocntent myself with Seven Samurai at my local art house theater...it was still great to see it on the big screen.
I loved CTHD. You hit the nail on the head...it's deliberately fantastical, a mytho/poetic exploration of a very familiar Chinese fairy tale/legend. Blaming it for fantasy elements is like criticizing LOTR for having wizzards.
