Nun Fu has an irresistable title and a neat pseudo-sf premise, set up in a lengthy precredit crawl which had the audience in hysterics. Unfortunately, the inventiveness flags quickly and the film lasts much too long. A couple of martial artist nuns try to wrest a briefcase from each other. The idea is funny for three or four minutes, but the film drags it out another ten minutes, and tries to get laughs time and again from having one of the combatants return from seemingly fatal wounds to take another shot at it. None the less, any film with this title which claims to have been shot on location at the Vatican and which lists Travis Bickle as the religious advisor can't be all bad.
Cambium is a weird, brief series of strange images.
In some ways it is reminiscent of Eraserhead , perhaps in part because it is in black and white. I didn't understand it, but it was interesting. Since it's very short, I doubt if anyone will be much put out by it, unless the odd symbolism is deciphered by someone and turns out to be as offensive as it vaguely hints. The last film was Quest , which I had also seen before. Directed by Saul and Elaine Bass, this was the only film in the program which really looked professional.
