As it is the 30th Anniversary of Fantasia, we (well, I on behalf of the team and site) will reshare reviews we\u2019ve done for the fest including those done during the fest and those done for films that have played at the fest that we reviewed at other times to give an idea of the scope of Fantasia and how important it is for the film industry as a whole.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2022 was a solo year for me, doing as much coverage as could manage without Felix who was sadly out of commission.<\/p>\n

So, here are my reviews from the fest:<\/p>\n

Special Delivery\u00a0<\/span><\/a>
\nThe Diabetic<\/span><\/a>
\nSwallowed<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>
\nThe Fish Tale<\/span><\/a>
\nSissy<\/span><\/a>
\nOrchestrator of Storms: The Fantastic World of Jean Rollin<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>
\nMegalomaniac<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>
\nMy Grandfather\u2019s Demons<\/span><\/a>
\nAccion Mutante<\/span><\/a>
\nThe Fight Machine<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>
\nDans ma peau<\/span><\/a>
\nMaigret<\/span><\/a>
\nInu-Oh<\/span><\/a>
\nIncroyable mais vrai<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a>
\nCult Hero<\/span><\/a>
\nPortal Masters<\/span><\/a>
\nMercenaries from Hong Kong<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

As most know by now, Fantasia is a great place for films to premiere, get picked up for distribution if they don\u2019t already have a distributor in place, and generally to make waves, which leads to these films landing on our proverbial desks throughout the year. Here are some of the others from Fantasia 2022 that we have reviewed through the years between Fantasia 2022 and Fantasia 2026 (some during the fest but from other sources and some before):<\/p>\n

From Emilie:
\nHypocondriac<\/a>
\nHansan: Rising Dragon<\/a>
\nBaby Assassins<\/a>
\nAlienoid<\/a>
\nGlorious<\/a>
\nHouse of Darkness<\/a>
\nKid with the Golden Arm<\/a>
\nOut in the Ring<\/a><\/p>\n

From Felix:
\nCoupez! (Final Cut)<\/a>
\nThe Elderly (Viejos)<\/a>
\nFace\/Off<\/a>
\nHard Boiled<\/a>
\nHarold and Maude<\/a>
\nHoneycomb<\/a>
\nSkinamarink<\/a><\/p>\n

From Kim:
\nNext Exit<\/a><\/p>\n

As we constantly review new films, classics, and re-releases, this list is only complete as of right this moment (at time of posting) and will likely become incomplete at some point.<\/p>\n
