    Chinese Style Fairy Tale

    by filmsareforever

    I was taken by surprise by David Kaplan's short film masterpiece "Little Red Ridding Hood" at the New York Film Festival 1997. And while "Year of the Fish", Kaplan's first feature, also portrays a fairytale, it doesn't however manage to create the same spell-bounding impact.

    Awesome Indie Flick - check it out!

    by FuzzyD

    Year of the Fish was a super pleasant surprise! What a great indie movie...great acting, beautiful music and unique writing and rotoscoping....a must see....oh yeah and Hettienne Park kicks butt as the comic relief / wicked step-sister character...(the movie is based on the oldest Cinderella story known to man, the Chinese version)...the rotoscoping gives it the perfect surreal touch too....
