Brothers of the Head
I've just got back from seeing this as the middle feature in a great treble bill (dubbed 'Midnight Obsession') at the Jeonju Film festival. It's really quite interesting and somewhat dark. Fortean associations abound.
A few cameos, not least Ken Russell and Jonathan Pryce. Part funded by Film Four and based on Aldiss. It, frankly, sounds silly but the fake documentary allows them to evoke the common sci-fi theme of multiple interpretations and multiple realities (and hence none?) pretty damned well. I have frankly no idea what the average Korean made of it: the subtitles were sparce and even some of the Americans I was with were struggling with the regional accents. Still, I had a great time.
Incidentally, the film before was 20 Centimetres,which really was surprisingly fun for a semi-musical film about the troubles of a Spanish transexual narcoleptic prostitute who lives with a dwarf (No, you read that right!).
Great night: W10,000 (£6), for all three moves from 12-6am with free food and caffeine at 2am, and free snacks at 4am!

Overview
A fake documentary based on a novella by British Sci-Fi writer Brian Aldiss. Siamese twins, Tom and Barry Howe are taken away from their family and sold off to an entertainment company to form a rock-and-roll band‘ The Bang Bang.’It is a film that
shows the brilliance of Fulton and Pepe who made Lost in La Mancha, the making of Terry Gilliam’s called-off project Don Quixote
