This relates about all adventures, experiences and new people I encounter during my new start in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where I entered a masters training program at the University Malaysia...

IFFR 2004
Mood:  suave
Topic: Night life & other action
International Film Festival Rotterdam 2004; normally I’d go to the big city to see as many movies as possible. Having just returned from a snowboarding trip in France though, it was rather impossible to move on to Rotterdam right away, so I had to stay in my own little city and feed on the small selection in the recently renovated “Art-movie house”. Though I always preferred the big city because of a wider selection in movies and the very special atmosphere, I must say that for the latter one it was really ok this time in Maastricht. The crowd, consisting of all kinds of people suffering Cinemania; young and old, alternative and traditional, students and “working class”, white and coloured... there sure was a good vibe. However, having seen the first film after an already exhausting day I felt so sleepy I couldn’t stay to enjoy the atmosphere. I saw “The Python” from Letland, a movie that in it self had some funny scenes that didn’t have enough impact though to carry the burden of a movie which on itself rather lacked a storyline.

Today was better; starting out with the Japanese “Ramblers” was good enough because even being quite a slow movie with not much of a story as well it was actually amusing enough to be entertained at 10 in the morning. But for me the jewel of the IFFR was definitely the Korean “Resurrection of the little match girl” from Jang Sun-Woo. Rarely I’ve seen a movie with a story of such originality with virtual reality as a main theme. Please stop talking about a movie like the “Matrix”; it doesn’t even come close ! Only “Strange days” (1995) had a story as good as this one.
