Asian crime films, the must-haves, from February 11 to March 1er, 2026

Long confined to the back rooms of video stores, Asian crime thrillers experienced sudden fame in the mid-90s, particularly when the combined efforts of Cahiers du cinéma, then Starfix or HK Vidéo enthusiasts finally put the names of Ringo Lam, Takeshi Kitano and Tsui Hark in the spotlight. The international release of The Killer finally established John Woo, Chow Yun-fat and their fury in the collective imagination - no Reservoir Dogs without City on Fire. Since then, the stylized arabesques of Johnny To and the ultraviolent swerves of Park Chan-wook and Na Hong-jin have been honored at festivals, and in a retrospective at the Cinémathèque with a selection of must-sees.
