Buckle up Deep Cut fans! This week we have a special preview episode as Wilson got to sit down with director Ray Yeung to preview his new Berlinale premiering film All Shall Be Well, which is opening at Film Forum on September 20.

Ray discusses his jump from law to filmmaking, and returning to his native Hong Kong to make films about the lives of older gay and lesbian characters in Hong Kong. We dive in deep as we talk about Ray’s two features set in Hong Kong; Suk Suk and All Shall Be Well as well as talking about Ray’s own film influences.

In this final Kiyoshi Kurosawa episode, Wilson brings to the table one of the latest films from the Japanese auteur; the Uzbekistan set To the Ends of the Earth. Ben draws parallels between this film and the work of Kelly Reichardt, and gives us an education on the importance of Atsuko Maeda and idol group AKB48. Eli zeroes in on Kurosawa’s commentary on the camera in this film, as we go behind the scenes of a Japanese travelogue crew abroad. Wilson continues his trend of vibing out with a film as he recounts how this rewatch deeply affected how he felt after losing his wallet.
