Tartan's cultural hand grenades
Ohmynews talks to Tartan prexy Tony Borg about Korean cinema and Tartan's output: "I know I'm biased but Oldboy and A Tale of Two Sisters are my favorite films. You can't get much better in terms of unbelievable bodies of work that represent the new wave of Korean cinema. If you can't appreciate either of these films and their styles, I don't think you can appreciate film in general.

Our owner, Hamish McAlpine, likes to refer to films that we release as "cultural hand grenades." We want to entertain people but we also want to push their buttons, so that even if they don't like the film they still have to talk about it the next day. Those kinds of films are being made all over the world and that's why we look not only to Asia but also Europe, Mexico and all parts of the world."
