A CLASS TO REMEMBER (GAKKO) Asian Cinema

Frederic Cassidy’s Kissing Time is a reverential and referential tribute to silent films, made in the tradition of 1920s cinema. Bloods on the Moon is a textured examination of a father forced to decide which to believe, his instinct or his love for his son. Elizabeth’s fiance has left her for another in Shoe Biz. In her disillusionment, she cuts herself off from old friends and new men, seeking solace in shoes. Kalamazoo is a touching romantic comedy about a young actress living in New York City and trying to cope with her life-auditions, temp jobs, therapy sessions, and a love gone wrong.
