Nov 11 SAIGON ELECTRIC (REEL ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL, Royal Cinema)

From the director of OWL AND THE SPARROW, another Vietnamese hit at the festival comes SAIGON ELECTRIC, giving us a look into the Hip Hop scene of the famous Asian city. As far as dance movies goes it was not too bad, but with only a little of the actual dancing shown. AS just a movie it is also pretty good with good characters and nice flow to the story. The really interesting thing was that because their Hip Hop scene is about 25 years behind North America's the movie becomes nostalgic for Westerners and a little bit of an unintended comedy.
