“A charming, breezy father-son story but also a diverting account of Chinese film and video culture in the 1990s.”
Review of King of Peking
“It combines something of the scrappy DIY aesthetic of Michel Gondry’s Be Kind, Rewind with a touch of the joy of discovery found in Giuseppe Tornatore’s Cinema Paradiso.”
Review of King of Peking
“An inventive and light exploration of a father’s love for both his son and the movies. King of Peking has many charms, but its passion for cinema is its most infectious.”
Review of King of Peking
“Proving himself a fresh new voice in Asian cinema, director SamVoutas offers a sex comedy salted with satirical comment on Chinese society.”
Review of Red Light Revolution
“Think Cinema Paradiso meets (a better) Be Kind Rewind. Director Sam Voutas deftly highlights the exhilarating, protective and terrifying lengths parents will go for their children. Long live the King.”
