regularly been posting about terrific Asian films, Japan, Taipei, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand... many excellent directors and their films.
You don't think Kurosawa, Ozu are inferior to ANY directors, from any country, do you?
China recently has had many, many fine films from both "5th... 6th generation" directors.
Go for it, Vic, especially since Tony T "spoke" to you.
Be forewarned: the paradigm is quite different from Western. Very sparse dialogue, long shots with little active camera movements, loose plot structure.
It takes as much adjustment as appreciating de Kooning, Pollock, Rothko, or Duchamps for traditional art afficiionados.
