Lost in Udine: Diary of a 'antipasti' in the FEFF: Chiao, Udine!

just a few hours ago, while walking through the streets of Udine moments after attending the inauguration of FEFF, a recurring question was walking by my side. For a moment I thought that genetics had played a trick and I had become Mourinho. The question consisted of two words. I guess the perfect recall:

Why?

And the question ... why would we do not have a FEFF?

teletransportaré to explain to me in time at 20:00 pm yesterday. When the director of FEFF Sabrina Baracetti welcomed us to those attending the gala opening in Teatro Nuovo at full capacity, and an Asian presence to remove the most painted hiccups, from the director and producer of eigas pinku Daisuke Asakura to Michael Hui the king of comedy from Hong Kong, through a young Quark Henares (the popular response to Filipino Brillante Mendoza ), or Koreans Lee Jeon-beong and Kim Min-suk, director of the fantastic Haunters or The Man from Nowhere . Mamma mia, where I was in Italy or in the middle of Asia?

The evening began with the international premiere of the film Welcome to Shama China Town of Weir Li novel. The tape, midway between the western and the comedy of manners caught the public to let out their laughter throughout production. A treasure, a lost village, a local bandit and many sharks who want to do business. Full of hilarious supporting characters, Welcome to Shama Town, was dismissed with a standing ovation.

Korea was the second guest of the function. And of course, the brothers Park Chan-wook and Park Chan-Kyong , left us all with a span of nostrils. I, for now, I'm making efforts to throw out the Samsung Movistar endorsed me to get my hands on an iPhone ... Regardless, if possible, nothing!

The horror story that proposes the Korean duo Night Fishing travels of modernity to the spirituality of shamanic funeral rites to dazzle both technically and narratively. The best: do not explain anything else. The worst: no get an iPhone for viewing on your screen.

And to close the first day Donnie Yen returned to the Three Kingdoms Period of the hand of the overvalued Alan Mak & Felix Fong , giving life to the famous warrior Guang, and centering the story The Lost Bladesman in its relationship with General Cao Cao. What could have been a festival for fans of martial arts become blurred by an approach shot, which includes some uninspired action scenes. Lovers of action will have to wait for Wuxia Peter Chan.

And tomorrow: Japan, Vietnam, China, South Korea and Hong Kong. Ah, yes ... and lots of pasta. Pasta was missed.
