Kevin and I sit down one last time to hash out our final episode for East Screen West Screen. We have a blast covering cinema in Hong Kong for the past 4 years, but as the saying goes, "All good things must come to an end." Reasons for this decision are discussed in this final episode's epilogue, but before that we wanted to end as we started, discussing films. To this end, we finish up with Johnnie To's latest BLIND DETECTIVE [盲探]. Then we fly west to take on MAN OF STEEL.
We then take a moment to look back on the show, offer thanks to all those who become a part of it, and discuss the possibilities of things to come.
