RIP Tony Rayns. Every cinephile encounters his writing at some point, and it’s shocking how his reviews/blurbs are some of the only meaningful words you can find on countless Asian films. Here’s a clip from Seo Won-tae’s film on Tony where he says he loves 간장게장 (soy crab).
Really digging Latrice’s Illuminate. It’s in line with other 2000s r&b featuring deep house production (e.g. Gaelle & everything on the Naked Music label). A spiritual descendent of Zhané too. Glossy, sumptuous, light on its feet, perfect for late nights.
