German Film

Oh, and I forgot to say the rest of the German Film Currents festival was so wonderful! The last day I went to the Filmfrühstück in the Goethe Institute with Christine. We met nice people among which were two Berlin directors. I had a very good conversation with one, Dennis Gansel, finally someone who really knows the film scene and with whom I could share my opinions about the young actors' scene in Germany. He likes to work with a lot of the actors my age that I find terrific. Max Riemelt, Tom Schilling, Max Mauff and others. He is the director of DIE WELLE which was in German movie theaters recently and of NAPOLA which I had seen and liked. I was surprised because he seemed so young. The other director Max Plettau was also very nice. That evening I went to the screening of the WELLE, but unfortunately I missed Max's film. After the screening we had a lot of fun at a karaoke pub, also because the German actress Rosalie Thomas, who was with us, was in such a good mood!
