2010 Tribeca Film Festival

"Paju": It has been seven years between “Paju” and Park Chan-ok’s directorial debut, “Jealousy is My Middle Name,” and she has no doubt used this extended period to refine her material into what I do not hesitate to call a masterpiece. by Christopher Bourne

"Possessed": Lee Yong-ju’s elegantly stylish horror film takes on the controversial subject of religion and makes it the driving force of his narrative. by Christopher Bourne

The 2010 Tribeca Film Festival: Finnish rugby, martial arts, cults and more: The Tribeca Film Festival, which has now fully taken over Chelsea and the East Village, was back in town with a diverse slate of films. by Yuan-Kwan Chan

Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo - Fall 2010
coverage by Yuan-Kwan Chan

With the long term in mind, Japan Fashion Week draws in New York for one night: Coinciding with New York Fashion Week, the Fall 2010 preview played out to a packed SoHo loft as live models wore the designs of eight labels in rotating presentation style.

Reviews:

@IZREEL: Designer Kazuhiro Takakura threw every single article of clothing and accessory in the book – stopping short of a Thom Browne floor-length skirt suit – in his latest men’s collection.

Entoptic: The predominately black, slouchy clothing would have been better suited for a presentation rather than a runway show given their casual nature.

Gut's Dynamite Cabarets: While this Fall/Winter 2010 men’s and women’s collection isn’t intended to provide red carpet fare, it IS for those who want to wind up the establishment and have a lot of fun in the process.

Somarta: It may have been a fall collection, but Somarta’s latest offering started off with a number of looks in white, of all colors.

2010 Film Comment Selects and Rendez-Vous with French Cinema
coverage by Christopher Bourne

"Accident": While “Accident” is a worthy attempt to marry the downbeat, despairing mood of Soi Cheang's previous films with Johnnie To-style genre mechanics, it isn’t an entirely successful one.

"Mademoiselle Chambon": Like Cedric Kahn’s “Regrets,” this film concerns a man’s temptation to leave his wife for another woman. However, Stéphane Brizé opts for a quieter, lower-keyed mood, resulting in a beautifully made film.

"Regrets": A chance encounter with an old flame turns very quickly into amour fou in Cedric Kahn’s well-acted but numbingly repetitive new film “Regrets.”

Reviews:

Andy & Debb: With Andy & Debb, a woman is not necessarily going to find a show-stopping red carpet number, but a safe, comfortable and classic piece for a day in the office or a cocktail party.

eryn brinié: Mounting snowfall did little to steer away fashionistas from the presentation, which included dozens of versatile neutral pieces equally suitable for business and leisure.

Tony Cohen: The designer featured his usual trademarks of dark colors and draping. Thankfully, another of his trademarks is that he designs clothes that women will very much want to wear.
