Cloaca

The other day was one of the very few times, and the only one I can think of right now, when I actually came out of a cinema completely depressed. I went to see a Dutch film called “Cloaca”, about four men in their early forties who have been friends for over twenty years. They have turned into strange characters who on the whole are not very nice. It was a depressing story, and none of the four ended up very happy. This is so weird, because it is a good film, but there
are no compromises. I guess four of the best Dutch actors work together on this, and that shows. It does work.

I’ve started a major end of year clearance. I’ve emptied out some boxes, to make a bit more space in my house. A lot more to do over the next few weeks, I think, a good thing to do over the Christmas break. A bit boring too, I guess.
