Rotterdam Film Fest III

Well i have waited a little longer than I wanted to post this, but man life goes by in a flash.
Friday afternoon was Kammerflimmern A great movie, based in Colonge Germany. I loved the story and the acting. Great idea. After that was a few hours free got to hang around Rotterdam and then on to the next one. The new Wim Wenders, Land of Plenty which was a post 9/11 film full of paranoid charachters, American ideals and trying to ask the question why America would be attacked like it was.. Not his strongest movie but not his worse either. After that I was tired and not in the mood to go to another movie so I did'nt. Sat morning I got up early and went in for my last movie. The Italian movie Onde by first time movie director Francesco Fei, sadly I don't have any links for it because it is not registered at the IMDB. I liked the movie, the setting and the story line. What was missing for me was the main female charachters' motivation for her behaviour. I had the feeling that perhaps some vital scenes for the movie were left on the cutting room floor. I recommend it anyway just for the beautiful acting by the male lead Ignazio Oliva who for those of you who don't watch Italian cinema might know him from Stealing Beauty with Liv Tyler.
