Caveat Lector: This film oozes with seething decadence, depravity, debauchery in a style that makes this writer recall “PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE.” I kid you not. UNDER THE LANTERN LIT SKY is also subversive and repulsively addictive like the best of the best Zombie movies (though there are no undead walking in this movie). Beware of long lines queueing up at the door of your home or apartment to watch UNDER THE LANTERN LIT SKY on your home cinema.– By Gregg W. Morris

New York Asian Film Festival, 20th Edition, August 2-22
Two world premieres, six international premieres, 29 North American premieres, eight U.S. premieres, and nine New York premieres, showcasing the most exciting action, comedy, drama, thriller, romance, horror, and art-house films from East Asia. August 6 – 22. An unprecedented COVID-19 Pandemic and shocking, heinous violence against Asian and Asian Americans in the United States presented enormous challenges in every aspect of American society, let alone film and media. NYAFF is announcing that it is even more committed than ever to increasing exposure of Asian representation on screen and to providing opportunities for audiences of all communities to experience the diversity and brilliance of Asian cinema. – By GreggWMorris
