Welcome back! We’ve been on holiday for a while, but now Subway Cinema News is back in action, to bring you news on what Asian movies are playing in NYC each and every month.

.

Hayao Miyazaki’s PONYO ON THE CLIFF BY THE SEA is still playing all over town, most notably at the Landmark Sunshine. Unfortunately, from what I understand, it’s only playing dubbed into English.

.

BAM is doing a Kore-eda retrospective through September 1st and you should try to see something. This line-up includes his amazing NOBODY KNOWS but, more importantly, HANA, which barely got a US release. It’s his samurai film and it’s sweet, unexpected and good natured, the total opposite of a grim, Kurosawan stab fest. (More info)

.
Symphony Space is screening Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI this Sunday at 3pm.

.

Also, this is very early, but if you liked HOUSE at this year’s New York Asian Film Festival, you can see it again out at BAM on October 31st. It’s never too early to get in line.
