Rene has some great stuff at Zeitgeist this week - I heard the Swedish vampire flick Let the Right One In was great, but I went for J.C.V.D. - yes you guessed it, that stands for Jean Claude Van Damme. A film written by Mabrouk El Mechri, a Belgian, it makes Jean Claude's failing career the subject of the film and at the same time a compelling case for a Jean Claude come-back. A very creative combination of biography and fiction action flick, it's entertaining and makes fun, exploits and transcends the stereotypes all at the same time. Plus, Jean Claude can act!
Also this weekend Zeitgeist will be hosting some of the main players in European experimental cinema: Wilhelm Hein, Otto Muehl, Annette Frick, and Kurt Kren. Wilhelm Hein and Annette Frick will be in attendance, so all you experimental film buffs don't miss it.
