hey there, yes I'm not talking about Nightsongs... I'm talking about the one that's not on auteurs - 'Land der Vernichtung'! and the speech he gave was at diagonale film festival in Graz... it's gonna take a lot to make me wanna see something else from him... think he's overrated!
Was I flagged here? I wasn't even rude or anything! Well I guess that I should repeat myself - I saw him talking after his film (very arrogant and dull), and I couldn't believe the stupidity of questions he asked people in his film... and then to be brave (stupid) enough to put it in the final cut... Worst thing I've ever seen in my life - 'Land der Vernichtung'
