Countdown to IFFR: 6 days to go
The program for the IFFR has been released. One of the most intriguing titles I found: The Adventure of Iron Pussy. And no, it doesn’t look like it is an adult movie: ‘The protagonist is the transvestite and secret agent Iron Pussy. A kind of Bond, but then wearing a dress and a specialist in…

Der Untergang (2004)
Deze week ben ik eindelijk naar Der Untergang (2004) geweest. De film gaat over de laatste dagen van het Derde Rijk, dat 1000 jaar zou voortbestaan, maar uiteindelijk na 13 jaar instortte. Er wordt goed geacteerd in de film, het is een prestatie van formaat om zulke onmenselijke personages geloofwaardig neer te zetten. Toch greep…

Countdown to the International Film Festival
14 days to the opening of the International Filmfestival Rotterdam and counting down. I wrote about the changes in the privileges of the volunteers before. There has been a reaction from Sandra den Hamer (director of the IFFR). It seems the IFFR organization is trying to organize special screening for its volunteers. I’ll see. I’ve…

Ja Zuster, Nee Zuster (2002)
Deze week heb ik een volledige overkill Ja Zuster, Nee Zuster (2002) gehad. Met twee nichtjes (3 en 4 jaar oud) op bezoek, die de film desnoods de hele dag op de repeatknop willen bekijken lukt dat best. Als de film niet opstaat worden de liedjes overal gezongen, want na één keer kijken zongen ze…
