Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #58. Shih-Ching Tsou’s Left-Handed-Girl

Date:

Left-Handed-Girl

We believe this under-the-radar project dipped its toe in co-production coin so we aren’t categorizing this shot in Taiwan family drama as American indie while its certainly informed by her films as a producer. Putting on the filmmaker hat, Shih-Ching Tsou (who co-directed Take Out with Sean Baker) shot her solo outing this past July in Taipei. Left-Handed-Girl is co-written along with Baker and has been in development for a good while now. Cinema Inutile produced the film.

Gist: This is a family drama set in Taipei.

Release Date/Prediction: We see this as a possible offering in the Cannes Critics’ Week section.

Ken Russell’s The Devils – 2010 Fantasia International Film Festival

Iconic director Ken Russell was in town to receive a lifetime achievement award from Fantasia for his 50-plus years in the business, a career that has spawned many genre classics including Altered States, Gothic, and The Lair of the White Worm. But it was the little-seen and hard to find The Devils from 1971 that proved to be Russell's most controversial work, and Fantasia managed to snag a copy to be screened on Russell's big night. In the video, Russell discusses the true story behind the film and receives his award with the grace befitting one of the great filmmakers of all time.
