Eye Candy Watch
Triplets of Belleville (in theaters 11/21) I was stunned when I saw the trailer for this francophone-produced animated feature earlier tonight.
Avalon (on DVD 12/16) This one’s a lushly photographed live-action/CG film from Ghost in the Shell’s Mamoru Oshii. I’m not as convinced that this one is actually a good film, but it’s got a unique look that its trailer shows off well.
Innocence: Ghost in the Shell (in theaters spring 2004?) Speaking of Ghost, a sequel is scheduled for next spring–I read somewhere that it will arrive on our shores soon after opening in Japan.
Palm Pictures Directors Label (on DVD Tuesday) I wrote about them before, but these collections of works by music video directors Chris Cunningham, Michel Gondry, and Spike Jonze are finally hitting shelves this week. What do these guys have in common? They’ve all done great videos for Bjork.
