film festival

I spent the weekend in Tromsø together with Idunn, Nina and Elisabeth. Movies, movies, movies at Tromsø International Film Festival. Festivals are great, whether film or music. I missed the Northern Light, but enjoyed several great movies. Mike Leigh's Vera Drake is beautiful, Bahman Ghobadi's Turtles can fly is really disturbing, Stephen Hopkins' The life and death of Peter Sellers is well worth it, I enjoyed Friedrich Murnau's Sunrise despite the worst screening room ever, Munthe and Ahlson's The armwrestler from Solitude is definitely enjoyable, and Jeff Nathanson's The last shot is just terrible. I also had the chance to go and see Mike Leigh talk about directing movies in general and Vera Drake specifically. And of course, we enjoyed the nightlife in Tromsø. More photos will be flickered.
