What did you think of In the Heat of the Sun? I remember seeing it in a Chinese film class a while back and liking it quite a bit.

just for kicks … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2TqYp4dCME

I loved In the Heat of the Sun. It’s instantly become my favorite mainland Chinese film of recent decades. I think it conveys very well what it means to live. Not just what people say and do but how they think and feel. Of course, the voice-over narration and music are both essential in this respect.

Hey Mike, any chance you caught the kickstarter page for Ralph Bakshi’s new project, Last Days of Coney Island?
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ralphbakshi/last-days-of-coney-island-0?ref=search
February 5th, 2013 at 9:05 am
I hadn’t heard about it. Thanks for the link!
February 5th, 2013 at 1:59 pm
No problem. I don’t think i’ve asked though, are you a fan of Bakshi’s work?
Also, i’ve been meaning to ask. What’s the latest on your book?
February 5th, 2013 at 8:49 pm
I’m largely unfamiliar with it. I think I’ve only seen COOL WORLD. What would you recommend watching next?
I’m currently in the final stages of editing the book. It should be out this year – probably summer or fall.
February 7th, 2013 at 10:26 am
Oh, i’d recommend Fritz the Cat (1972), Heavy Traffic (1973), Coonskin (1975), and American Pop (1981).
To the world of animation what this guy was doing was incredibly unique. His films are very funny, but they’re also so full thematically. He touches on many issues like racism, crime, corruption, sexuality. Maybe the order i gave you with those 4 is good.
Awesome. I’m still looking forward to that.
