One of my favourite new directors has a new film out, I Don't Want to Sleep Alone, this Wednesday at the Barbican (http://www.barbican.org.uk/film/event-detail.asp?ID=4349). If you are not familiar with his films, I highly recommend them. My favourites include The Hole, What time is it there? and Goodbye Dragon Inn.
Here is a great example of someone who ignores the conventions of continuity editing. I don't think I have ever seen a close-up in any of his films. The camera remains at a distance, in long-shot or medium-shot, detached, observing.
This is a man not afraid to take the lengthy shot to the extreme. I especially remember the cinematography and sound in Goodbye Dragon Inn - a proper sound system is a must.
