A short dispatch...

...and a long Letterboxd list.

Looking For An Angel (1999) is available to-preorder this week, alongside its sibling film Angel’s Body Temperature (2001) — making its Blu-ray debut anywhere in the world. Our guiding light in these releases has been the very knowledgable Dakota Noot (co-host of Two in the Pinku), who recorded a feature-length commentary on the hour-long Looking For An Angel, and a selected scenes commentary for the feature-length Angel’s Body Temperature. Also on the release is a video interview we conducted with director Akihiro Suzuki last March in Tokyo, and a booklet with new writing from Elizabeth Purcell (Muscle Distribution), and a written interview with Akihiro Suzuki from Joshua Minsoo Kim, republished from his Substack Tone Glow.

So information-packed are these commentaries that I’ve gone ahead and made a Letterboxd list of every single film Dakota mentions in the Looking For An Angel commentary.
