Any DVD with a Quentin Tarantino quote proclaiming that its the best film of the year across the top of it is going to make more than a few people curious. What will they find when they pop in the already-cult hit Election, action master Johnnie To's breakthrough film and a movie that he actually made before the already-on-DVD Triad Election and the recently-in-theaters Exiled? Remember those episodes of The Sopranos that some claimed were too slow? And then remember how that buildup paid off? That's Election in a nutshell, a film that chronicles the power struggles around the choosing of a new leader for the oldest Mafia in the world - the Triads - in very complicated, often slow, detail. Times have changed and power isn't passed down any more, it's taken through bribes, blackmail, and violence. Election is a must-see for Asian action fans this season.

Super-hot director Johnnie To (when the even-better Exiled hits DVD next month, he'll have had three major DVD released in as many months) takes an impressive 29 minutes to sit down for an interview. To speaks about the motivations behind the movie, all the research he did in making the flick, and his relationship with many of the excellent actors in Election.

"The Making of Election" sounds promising and actually starts to delve in to the history of the Triads in Hong Kong and how they have influenced the culture there but it runs way too short. At just over seven minutes, it leaves you wanting. It feels like you could make a whole documentary about the influence of the Mafia on Hong Kong. Somebody get on that.

Maybe it's because it was the first one I saw, but I like the overly stylized feel of Exiled more than the studied, complicated stories of the Election movies. Having said that, both films, especially Election, are incredibly well-made, showing American audiences why To has become an internationally recognized director already. Quentin loves him. Give him a shot.
