HELP ME EROS—The Greencine Interview With Lee Kang-sheng

With this year's Toronto International Film Festival just around the corner, I feel like I've finished up last year's housecleaning with the Greencine publication of my interview with Lee Kang-sheng, secured at last year's TIFF where Help Me Eros touched down on North American soil. As I outline in my intro to the Greencine interview, Lee Kang-sheng's sophomore feature has not fared well with critics and distributors; but, praise needs to go out to Strand Releasing for bravely picking up the film for DVD distribution.

Of related interest is Twitch teammate Ard Vijn's review of Help Me Eros and interview with Lee Kang-sheng conducted earlier this year at the Rotterdam International Film Festival.
