The opening night at IFFR and here are the result:
Juno
A great story, loaded with humor and a classic ending. I can understand why it is nominated for an Oscar! It fits perfectly in the Rotterdam setting. A must see IMO.
Appleseed: Ex Machina
It’s not my first manga, but I’m not that big a lover of these Japanese anime flicks. It was the opening IFFR Volunteers Movie (private audience) and I think it was a good choice. Although I prefer to see actual human flesh on celluloid, the humanoids in this movie had something going for them, creating the illusion that the feelings and emotions were all but robotic. I haven’t seen the original Appleseed (2004), so no comment on that, maybe you can tell me if I should see the original too? (http://www.exmachina.jp/)
Next up: Import Export by Ulrich Seidl, Wonderfull Town by Aditya Assarat
