Have I mentioned recently that pretty well nobody in the world packages DVDs as well as the Koreans? Oh, the Japanese may out-do them on a high priced uber-edition from time to time but as far as the run of the mill, every day releases ... zowie.
With all the fuss we’ve made about A Bittersweet Life around here I feel like we’ve gone and neglected the other big film out of Korea so far this year, that being Crying Fist. The thing did win a major award at Cannes, after all. Anyway, Logboy emailed me pictures of the packaging for the film’s upcoming DVD release - and yes, it does include English subtitles - and I’m feeling all warm and tingly knowing that I’ve already got this bad boy ordered. Click here for a shot of all the goods laid out and making eyes in your direction ... yummy.
Crying Fist is available for preorder now at YesAsia.

Dude, that looks incredible. I knew when I got my LE edition of Memories of Murder for twenty bucks that I was getting to the great promised land of incredible DVD-dom. Little did I know…
Anyway, I can’t wait to see that movie. Choi is great, and I hear nothing but glowing reviews of the film. Oh, will August never come?

well… that’s a good two weeks, away, add a week for shipping… I’ll have seen it by August I guess. Different sites are showing different release dates too, with the latest I’ve seen being July 30.

Oh yes indeedy, this is looking very nice indeed. I have been wanting to see this since the super slow flash heavy web site for it popped up, and the trailer just fueled my enthusiasm! Bittersweet life next, two of my most anticipated flicks of this year!
