TUI SHOU (PUSHING HANDS)

Watchable. Ang Lee's first movie is a quiet family drama with questions about one's place in life. It supposed to be about intercultural tensions while there was nothing more than issues which would occur in monocultural families all the same.

THE FIFTH ESTATE

Recommended. Fast-paced action takes you round the globe. You get a rundown on the WikiLeaks success story + lively depicted insight into the downfall of traditional institutions (banks, goverments) as much as of Assange himself - in both cases torn from within. Humour is sparse but good, e.g. after sex: "It's the first time I see a guy sneaking out of his own apartment." "Have you got a cripto-phone?" "No, but it's the best excuse if you never call again."
