"Der Krieger + die Kaiserin"

Tonight was "film night" at the Institute, and the they showed Der Krieger + die Kaiserin ("The Princess and the Warrior"), a 2001 German film directed by Tom Tykwer.

It starred the same actress (Franka Potente) from "Run Lola Run" and the two "Bourne" movies, and Benno Fürmann. The movie was kind of a psychodrama and not exactly entertaining, but the extended moody shots and action sequences meant that there was less dialog for me not to understand. The German subtitles were (mercifully) activated, which helped a lot since many of the lines were mumbled. Overall it was worth watching and, yes, good practice.

Next week they are showing Nirgendwo in Afrika ("Nowhere in Africa"), which I've seen and am looking forward to.
