Any Way the Wind Blows

On Monday I went to see another film, a Belgian film this time, spoken in Flemish, created by Tom Barman, the man behind dEUS. The film is called “Any Way the Wind Blows.” Almost the complete opposite of “Swimming Pool”, a huge number of characters and story lines coming together at a party. A lot is happening, there are relations between some of the characters, much seems to happen at random, but some details show that there is a story line in there and but it does not have a beginning or an end. Interesting though. You just allow yourself to step into the lives of all these people, and then you step out again after about 24 hours.

This is the time of year when you suddenly seem to have to start planning again. I got a list of courses I can take next year for work. So now I have to decide whether I want to learn something next October. And I already have meetings in my diary now for December 2004. That is weird. It does say something about the way you live, I guess. Some Wednesday afternoon in December 2004 I will be in that particular room with those particular people to discuss a particular subject. It makes for an exciting life.
