I really need to dig deeper into Johnnie To's work.<br /><br />I'm also a big fan of The Wages of Fear and The Battle of Algiers.

It's basically the first 25 minutes of another movie. It's on the same level and really sharp! I'm hoping that he ends up getting a full season.

Museum Hours was entrancing to me, though I tend to gravitate towards films (i.e., Russian Ark) shot in gorgeous museums. I really want to check out National Gallery for that reason.
