The whole Midnight selection is worth viewing. I'm surprised to see R100
playing. Directed and written by the Japanese comedy genius Hitoshi
Matsumoto of Big Man Japan fame actually has more showings in America
than just Fantastic Fest. Expect big laughs from the dark humor as a
single father joins an extremely painful looking bondage club.
Check out what fans got for attending early screenings in Japan.

The last work of Hayao Miyazaki, he's nod dead, he just retired. Oddly enough, the main male lead is voice by the creator of Evangelion Hideaki Anno. Flying and aerial maneuvers ends Miyazaki's flight into anime legend with a story about the man who created WW2 fighter planes. Supposedly, a week run of the film will take place here in LA for it to qualify for an Academy Award.

In the future an aging actress decides to sell her likeness letting it appear in the future's convoluted vacuum cleaner commercials. More like the future internet where it appears anything goes. This should be a stunning surrealist piece of animation mixed with live-action.

So worthy of being a documentary, Jodorowsky's Dune shows the insane failed attempt of director Alejandro Jodorowsky's to make Dune. He was going to pay Salvor Dali millions for practically doing nothing. It's not like David Lynch's version was anywhere near good, but what could've been boggles the mind.

A new short from one of my favorite new directors Nacho Vigalondo. A sci-fi romantic situation perhaps?
