At home at Kurt Wallander...

We visited the Ystad Studios home of the Wallander movies. We had the back lot tour so you can see all the sound stages. It was really funny to walk around in Kurt's house and to sit on his couch...

Buddenbrooks

One of my reasons to visit Lubeck was to visit the Buddenbrookshaus. Named after the family of his Nobel prize winning novel, this museum gives a good idea about the live of Thomas Mann and his family. One of my favorite (gay) writers is his son Klaus Mann with novels like "Der Vulkan". The extensive bookstore gave me a chance to update my library with nice editions of some of the Mann's novels (and DVD's of movie adaptations)

Lubeck

On our way to Ystad, Sweden, we stopped at Lubeck to spend the night. This is a very old city with a rich history. In the Maria Church you will find the old bells just the way they fell to the ground during a raid of WWII. The city is rebuild though and looks lovely.

Chuck and Larry

06:15 mareku 0 Comments

I saw Chuck and Larry a couple of days ago and it wasn't so bad as I expected. Yesterday however I received a DVD copy of the Australian movie Bedfellows on which Chuck and Larry obviously is based and it was far better, much more realistic and human. Strangely enough Chuck and Larry credits 3 screenwriters - among them is Alexander Payne, the writer of Sideways - but no reference to the original... ;-)
