Johnnie To

Hong Kong film director Johnnie To‘s birthday was April 22nd.  To is versatile but best known for his action and crime movies.  US versions of some are available on the Well Go USA label.  I have purchase Asian versions of other Blu-rays and DVDs on eBay.

Where to start?

I would begin with some of these:

Drug War

Three

Breaking News

Election and Election 2

(Thread) I love reading about Johnnie To talking about his old films because he’s a very honest dude, and he doesn’t do director commentaries. Recently, he went to a Q&A for EXILED, part of a Sam Peckinpah retrospective here. (cont.) (1/6)
