So lemme get this straight, that's two disasters in a row from Richard Kelly, right?

Beginning tomorrow night and continuing through Nov. 23 is yet another fascinating film series at the Walker Art Center: The People's Republic of Cinema: 60 Years of China on Film . I know as much about Chinese cinema as I do about aerospace engineering, which is to say I'm a total ignoramus ...
