Rotterdam Film Festival II

Week 2.... started out not as good as the first. Well Sat I was busy in utrecht... more to follow on that story later. Monday and Tuesday I opted for staying home and relaxing.
Wed was Mysterious Skin. Set in Kansas and really so/so. It was'nt terrible and covered a interesting enough topic but it did'nt really move me and odly enough has a HUGE score on the IMDB, go figgure.
I skipped what was supposed to be my last movie 9 Songs, because I heard that it did not live up to much more than live music and porn.
Last night I went in for In my Fathers Den. Fantastic New Zealand movie, story, plot, acting scenery all well done. Even those adorable kiwi accents that are sometimes hard to follow. I would venture to say it is in 1st place with Illumination 2nd as my favorite films of the festival so far. I like the conicidence that I saw it last night at the Luxor theater and two years ago I saw the Whale Rider there as well... both from NZ and both great!
Tonight I have 3 more, should be interesting.
