Not only Quentin Tarantino is a fan of this fantasy-filled action comedy – so is Moonika Siimets.
“Oriental martial and magic arts, risking life for love mixed with American humor and smooth relaxation, young Kurt Russell and Kim Cattrall – this was enough to make me, my parents, and for example, a great friend of our family, the know-it-all Vigala It’s a matter of repeatedly seducing it under its spell and seriously discussing the movement of energies and paranormal phenomena.â€
This is how the director of “Seltsimees lapse” Moonika Siimets talks about John Carpenter’s film “Big trouble in a small Chinese town”, which she has chosen to show at the next event of the HÕFF film club.
On Thursday, February 29 at 6 p.m. at the Haapsalu Cultural Center session, he will talk more about how this strange film has influenced him and where he saw it for the first time in the late 1980s, as a child, but also about what he currently doing and what movies he watches in his spare time.
Made in 1986, “Big Trouble in Little Chinatown” is a cult film in which San Francisco truck driver Jack Burton and his friend are drawn into the mystical battle between good and evil in Chinatown – they have to foil the machinations of a living ore.
The author of the film John Carpenter („Halloween†, „Võõrkeha†) has called it one of his better works.
The goal of the HÕFFi film club, which meets once a month in Haapsalu, is to popularize genre film as art.
Films selected by Estonian filmmakers will be screened. John Tomic, Jack Kilmi, Rasmus Merivo, Janno JÃ1⁄4rgens, Õ faction, Sander Maran and Oscar Lehemaa have been guests of the club.
Joining the club is free – for this you need to fill out a form, which can be found at the event or on the website of the Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival.
