11th Japan Filmfest Hamburg – The Diary (Day 2)

Welcome back again for the second part of my filmfestival diary. As I have told you, I watched the anime Summer Wars yesterday and it was really amazing. Out of the full-lenght anime movies, I’d definitetely put it in my personal Top5, up there with Princess Mononoke, Paprika and the like. A great story, fine drawing, funny jokes, cute charakters – this anime has it all, so I can really recommend it. I think i might buy this one for my DVD-collection :)

The second movie was A Knot, which I had to announce to the audience. As I hadn’t seen the movie before, it was a bit tricky to make a good announcement about the content, but I think I didn’t do too bad after all. It was a really calm and quiet Drama – typical japanese one might say ;) I even found the trailer, so you might try to get an impression there: Link. I felt reminded to the movie Non-Ko from last years film festival – not because of the story, but the surroundings, arrangements and designs in the movie had some similarities. At least if you ask me.

Today I’ll be watching The Blood Of Rebirth in the evening, which should be an interesting mix between drama, mystic stuff and medieval setting – I’m curious :) And after that, it’s time for the movie festival party within our funky decorated festival lounge \o/

This time I’ll bring you photos, as I’ve forgotten to make some yesterday :/
