Now here's some fun news for Japanese film fans ...
The original Jam Films anthology is one of the finest anthology projects to ever come out of Asia. It's made up of six short films from six of the absolute hottest young Japanese directors - most notably Ryuhei Kitamura of Versus and Godzilla: Final Wars fame - and there's not a single mis-step in the lot. Kitamura's entry, titled The Messenger, is absolutely essential viewing for any fan of the man and is beyond doubt one of the highest points of the man's filmography.
The only problem with this is that, until now, it has only been legally available as a pricey Japanese import. Well, no more. A Hong Kong release is being quietly snuck out to market in a mere two days for the low, low price of $7 US. Nice. So far Layoyo looks to be the only company stocking this and you can find their listing here.
