Damn that’s a kick in the teeth, if I had known that I would have waited…….oh well if it’s good who says I can’t go again!

I remembered that Tokyo! is being shown on November 15th at BFI southbank, search for onedotzero on the BFi site, tickets go live for non members on Friday and there’s still quite a few seats left.

I would’ve gone to the Saturday screening of Tokyo! but when the movie finishes there is train track maintenance making it nearly impossible for me to get home

I’m waiting for the Good Bad Weird screening in the Barbican with Director Q&A

But what a pain in the backside about the timing of Tokyo! Like so many films at the BFI festival, the scheduling is geared to those with an extremely flexible lifestyle.

So glad the Korean film festival in November is sensibly scheduled.

Oh there are tickets still available for Tokyo! and The Good, The Bad, The Weird albeit not great ones for the latter (to be expected I guess)……I have good seats for both!

No problem.
I agree about the BFI site, it’s really hard to navigate. The sites design probably has a negative affect on business.

Here is a 3 minute clip from Bong Joon-ho’s “Shaking Tokyo” segment.

Thanks for pointing this out Raku. The search engine on the BFI site is much worse than last year, so I’d completely missed that some work by Bong was making an appearance.

The Host was a great movie to experience on the big screen. I’m going to watch Bong Joon-ho’s first directorial effort since The Host which is a segment in the omnibus movie “Tokyo!” called “Shaking Tokyo” being shown at the BFI Film Festival.
