One of the best things about Washington, D.C. in the summertime: the annual Made in Hong Kong Film Festival at the Freer and Sackler Galleries.
Tonight's viewing should be fantastic - featuring Running on Karma, a Johnnie To and Wai Ka-fai co-directed flick that stars one of Hong Kong film's best, Andy Lau. To and Wai are the same masterminds behind one of my favorite screenings from last year's festival, Fulltime Killer, which also starred Andy Lau and an equally impressive Takashi Sorimachi.
The rest of the festival's schedule looks appealing too, and includes the requisite Wong Kar Wai feature - this year it's the ever-so-popular Chungking Express. Though I've seen it more than a few times, I never get tired of the idea of expressing one's secret love through the stealthy cleaning of an apartment.
