movie at the Berlin Film Festival: Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner

  • summary
  • a summary of film by the same name and contant on IMDb [Link]


The legend of how Atanarjuat wins the hand of beautiful Atuat is a well-known Inuit tale from the first millennium. …

film: Shirley: Visions of Reality


A series of snapshots from the life of a fictional actress named Shirley serves to weave together thirteen paintings by Edward Hopper (e.g. "Office at Night", "Western Motel", "Usherette", "A Woman in the Sun") into a fascinating synthesis of painting and film, personal and political history. …
I would have loved to see this movie at the film festival, I hope, I will be able to see it anyway.

movie at the Berlin Film Festival: Top of the Lake



My Sunday afternoon 350 minutes movie with my son#2. Well, actually he got bored and left me alone after like 120 minutes of the series. That was rather, rather sad.

movie at the Berlin Film Festival: Isabella Rossellini's "Mammas"


My Saturday evening "Isabella Rossellini" series of short films at the Delphi. I really, really liked them. Actually they came in 2 sequences, with a break in between, and it took them like more then half an hour to solve the trouble with starting the 2nd sequence, and that was somehow annyoing. But it is a big, big pleasure to experience Isabella Rossellini on stage (here: for the Q+A). She is a rather, rather, rather entertaining and lovely person. They say, you can watch here short films on Youtube.

movie at the Berlin Film Festival: A Long and Happy Life = Dolgaya schastlivaya zhizn (in russian)


My Sunday morning movie at Schaperstraße.
I guess, that was my 1st russian film ever at the Berlinale.

movie at the Berlin Film Festival: frog spider hand horse house

summary

I go there because it comes in a package with the "Isabella Rossellini" film afterwards (both at the Delphi). Maybe it is nice anyway.

film: Everyday Objects = Halbschatten (in german)

summary

movie at the Berlin Film Festival: No Man's Land = Terra de ninguém (portuguese)


Will I make it into the presentation at the Delphi again? I would rather like to, I think. Yes, I did.

What Paulo (a mercenary and killer by profession) had to tell about his life was rather shocking, but he mostly presented it in a bragging style.

movie at the Berlin Film Festival: I Used to Be Darker

I Used to Be Darker

Maybe my Friday evening entertainment. Yes, I actually managed to get hold on a ticket. Some friend of people attending the film dropped out, and they sold the ticket on the stairs to the Delphi movie theatre. Lucky me! I rather liked the film.
There will be a related party tomorrow night at the Schokoladen (Ackerstraße). But you will have to present your ticket for the film.

TV series: "Downton Abbey" (2010...)

"Downton Abbey" (2010)

Rather interesting and entertaining.

film: Shutter Island (2010)

Shutter Island (2010)

I find it bad, that "we" did not have any chance knowing what really was going on until rather close to the end.
