  We have not seen „The Odyssey” by  Christopher Nolan yet. We are looking forward to watching this movie and we do not mind dramaturgical fantasy in it. Particularly after we travelled a bit along Baltic Sea and learned about the book by Felice Vinci „The Baltic origins of Homer’s epic tales”.  According to this Italian author the events of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey took place in the Baltic and not the Mediterranean. The book tries to reveal how a climate change forced the migration of a people and their myth to Greece. Vinci identifies the geographic sites of Troy and Ithaca in the Baltic Sea. And argues that the Baltic geography, climate and ancient clothes better fit Homer’s descriptions.  Well, we can not solve this dilemma. Instead we will watch the film that seems to be a controversial adaptation of the ancient epic poem and read the contemporary book that raise historical controverses. And what do you think? M&P The Lodz Film School during a short walk:

  It is a German historical drama television series. It is based on the life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria and it is worth seeing,  "When rebellious Elisabeth falls for Emperor Franz and becomes his unlikely bride, she enters a word of tension and intrigue at the Viennese court", writes Netflix. Travelling through Switzerland we have visited the place where Sissi spent her last night and was murdered. Geneva in September 1898 witnessed a brutal atack on the Austrian Empress, better known as Sissi. (M&P)  On the YT film above there is a Sissi statue in Geneva, near the Hotel Beau-Rivage where she died.   More on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1Rgd59WD9kA?si=t96grQ41DKeE4rYu or In  the Youtube Playlist  

  I went to see this controversial German Oscar nomination for 2026. There is no story to be told. The film is rather like a poem, consisting of allusions. The film presents the life of sisters in four periodes of the last hundred years. The camera follows mostly one sister and the spectators see the world through her eyes. There is a tense horror mood created by the director and reinforced by a very suggestive soundtrack. The sisters and the mothers live in a patriarchical society and try to find their ways. Disturbingly often it leads to death. In my opinion the film would gain if it were not so long. Almost three hours, without a story, was a challenge. Some people left earlier but I sat it through… And still I would  recommend to watch it.  Paul

  We choose to watch this film because we felt we did not see a Jim Jarmusch  film for a long time. The film was shown in our neighborhood so we decided to walk there. We were only a couple of spectators. A pity because the film was very good. Jarmusch tells us three stories taking place in three different countries. All are about fragile family relations. In the first story a sister with her brother travel to their father far out in the woods of New Jersey. The mood created by Jarmush says more than the short, dialogues. The father is played wonderfully by Tom Waits . The second story is situated in Dublin. A mother expects her two daughters for a cup of tea, a ritual they have only once a year. The young women get there separately and they are very different characters.   The stiff tea ceremony reflects also the feelings between these three persons. The third story is quite different. A brother and a sister drive to their parents flat in Paris. The parents died ...
