Slightly different beginning to our Film Friday today, because we’d like to highlight the fact that our favourite film in ages, Reprise (pictured above), was released on DVD this week. We really feel it should have been given the same kind of cinematic release it’s getting right now in the UK, rather than an astonishingly bare-bones DVD transfer with burned-in subtitles, but what are you going to do?

The Hong Kong thriller, which stars Andy Lau and Tony Leung, is a tightly-paced, tightly-written mole on mole story. In it, Lau and Leung (who wowed in Wong Kar Wai's dreamscape of a film, In the Mood for......
