Stockholm film festival 2009

December 2, 2009

This year’s festival is over and after enjoying a few cinema days I got the chance to put a few thoughts together both for the event itself and the movies I watched as well.

  • Great organization; online calendar to share, updated with any last minute changes and easy to share with friends (that could be a bit improved but already great that it’s there).
  • Tickets via sms for internet enabled phones, awesome and worked like a charm!!!
  • BUT, but, but and but! Why do we need to come and pickup our membership card ourselves, when the option to buy them online is offered? (maybe because there should always be a reason to stand in the queue for…).
  • Let alone why does one need the membership card to watch even one movie, don’t like that.

Movies:

  • Humpday; interesting and kinda entertaining but not much more than that.
  • World’s Greatest Dad; emotionally strong, Robin Williams is a great actor (one of my favorites) and turned it from comedy to an emotionally tense manifest of self catharsis.
  • Dogtooth; bold, provoking  and definitely doesn’t let you go without thinking, no accident it won the best film award!
  • Tetro; liked it but not thrilled, not a big deal.

Looking forward to next year!
