Hong Kong-style editing is so crisp. It's beautiful.

Had the immense privilege of speaking with the great Kenji Tanigaki for MUBI Notebook.
Topics we discussed include Donnie Yen's action style, the Japanese action film industry, the limits of previs, Chinese DTV action, and, of course, RUROUNI KENSHIN. mubi.com/en/notebook/...

Anyone know where I can watch Ryûhei Kitamura's LOVEDEATH? Keen to check it out because it's one of Kensuke Sonomura's early stints as action director.
