For ages I’ve referred to this as the ‘best week of the year‘ in Munich, and I might just stand by that, although it has some stiff competition the longer I live here. Why the best? Because of Filmfest, I tell you. Before I started reviewing films for English language publications, I regularly attended it… Continue reading Knee deep in Filmfest…I’ll sleep when I’m dead

This post is brought to you thanks to bifurcated sleep…
Ok, the long and short of it is that I don’t sleep well in the summertime. Not sure if I ever did, but it seems to have gotten progressively worse with age. Old man problems, right? I suppose so.
