‘Moonlight’ director Barry Jenkins’ connection to a ‘weird’ Asian horror film

Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight,” which played both the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, is impressing audiences and critics alike. The Times’ Justin Chang says, “In Jenkins’ hands, the cold, mechanical apparatus of the camera becomes nothing less than a conduit for human empathy.”

The director mentions that foreign films were influencial to him on his path to becoming a filmmaker, and singles out a specific film called “301, 302.”
