Viennale, the 50th

Yupp, it's that time of the year again: our annual Viennese filmfestival, the Viennale, is happening right now! Yippiiieeee!

Last night I managed to get to my first movie there: Ai to Makoto. And I have to say, this might stay my favourite movie of this year's festival ^^ It was funny, in a very weird way. And it made me want to study more Japanese again. Hehe. I selected it out of the festival catalogue, and only after buying the tickets I realized that it's from the same director as 13 Assassins. And the main actress is the one who plays Kaoro-san in the RuroKen movie (hope that'll be in some theater around here, soon!). Anyways. Very Japanese, and fun movie! When they first started singing I was afraid that this would be a musical. But quite soon you realize that it's a movie that doesn't take itself too serious. Good fun.

Anyways, if you're in Vienna, go to Viennale! Some movies are already sold out, but there are many where you still can buy tickets - and this year, buying them online actually works like a breeze :-) So far I have four more tickets already, but I'll definitely watch some more Fritz Lang ones at Filmmuseum - fortunately that's possible till the end of November.

Mmmh, movies!
