Sunday night, 22::00 PM ~~ Getaway Day
The festival is finally winding down.
walked out of Bonello's NOCTURAMA - after a half hour of solid boredom and Finnish subtitles only. couldn'really follow the mumbled banlieusard french and got tired of the Finnish subtitle lesson, Hunger prevailed and I went across the street to the Reindeer Stew and other goodies tent, loaded up on nourishment including an extra piece of Reindeer Sausage and cheesecake with Arctic cloudberry sauce on top - and now getting ready for my final film of the fest -- MIFUNE, The Last Samurai in the Little tent --
Before this I saw Saura's CARMEN with clickety clack heel work all the way through -- but somehow it grabbed me a little less this time than when I first saw it years ago -- but still quite stirring and makes you want to shout Olé! at several points.
It!s cloudy, rainy and a bit chilly outside, but, whuttheheck -- this is the sub-arctic so you gotta expect a little chill now n then, although it was hot and sunny most of the time until now .....
Tomorrow at the Hotelli it'll be bed rest and Sauna therapy all day long...
