(poznan, poland, June 4)
first off.. fully sick.. i have zero energy.. in fact the only thing i want to do today.. sleep.. and perhaps watch a movie.. LUCKILY.. monika felt the same way.. well she was not sick.. but she felt like seeing a movie. remember before i mentioned the one guy who dubs everything for american tv shows?.. well thankfully he sticks with his day job and doesnt butcher films the way does television.. so english movies are subtitled in polish in the theatres here.. YES!!!!..
my UofL film club rears its head again on my trip and we decide to check out "antichrist" the new lars von trier film.. and well we had both read articles about it.. it premeired at cannes a couple weeks before i arrived.. and well some people walked out of the movie.. some people booed the movie.. others hailed it as a masterpeice.. basically in a nutshell that means you have to see it.. to figure out which of the above three categories you subscribe to..
well its a horror film.. and i love horror movies.. although they often scare the crap out of me.. and i have to either get rex my roomates old dog.. or one of my roomates to watch with me cause i am so scared.. and wont continue watching the film.. ie.. rec.. and martrys... well with this film.... i would not need either.. although i think i walked out more confused and.. well i still dont know how i feel about this film.. there is more sex in the film than your average horror movie.. and it also includes a wonderful penetration shot.. backgrounded by classical music and a choir.. oh.. and while they are screwing their child jumps out their second or third storey window... this in the first 5 minutes.. unfortunatly its also not like it followed any classical horror convention.. those who had sex did not all die.. i think its an art house interpretation of horror.. i wish i knew...i did however stay for the whole film.. in the end i did not boo.. i did not cheer.. i mumbled what the fuck was that.. in either sheer amazement, sheer panic, or sheer disgust.. i have NO idea..
in the end.. for a sick day in polish paradise.. a movie in the brewery mall was my favourite thing to do..
About Me
- Sean
- Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
- In November 2009 I worked a crap job, with no possibility of getting a great job. So I decided the heck with it, I needed a change. Later that month an opportunity to teach in Seoul came up. I jumped, and for two years I lived/loved and wrote. I now find myself on a new adventure, a return to school (and Germany), where I will continue to report on the obscure and irrelevant life I'm privileged enough to call my own.
