47:2 The Features: Audition, Steel Rain, Wong Kar-Wai’s The Lady From Shanghai, Oldboy Remake

Issue 47 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd continues with the Features, and for this issue we are focusing on East Asian cinema. Our Classics and Recommended is the notorious Takashi Miike psychological horror Audition, followed by our Hidden Gem the Korean cold war thriller Steel Rain. Our One that Got Away discusses how legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai spent years nearly making international spy thriller The Lady From Shanghai with Nicole Kidman, and our Remake Hatewatch is the ill-advised US remake of Oldboy. As a treat at the end we discuss how we'd like to see a remake of one of the ninja films of the 80s.
