It Takes More Than an Idea

Of the several new releases I've seen in theaters this past week, only 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple proved easy to pin down in time for this week's show, and this is meant as a compliment of its simplicity. It works in a way that the other movies I saw, which I might get to next week, really don't. But the other side of its simplicity is that I didn't have all that much to say about it even in the course of recommending it. So I padded the episode with reviews of two international films that only recently became available VOD for US viewers: Hong Sang-soo's A Traveler's Needs, and Radu Jude's Dracula.
