As some of you know, amongst my many jobs, I help the Osaka European Film Festival, taking pictures, entertaining foreign guests and so on. This year, I'm also in charge of writing the movie resumes in English, meaning that I get to see all the movies before everyone. Life is hard, isn't it?
The last one I watched is The Robber (Der Rauber), a German-Austrian coproduction. It tells the true story of Johann Rettenberger, a.k.a Pump-Gun Ronnie, a bank robber who also won several races, including the Vienna marathon! To say the least, the police have a hard catching him! It's a good movie for all of us joggers/runners, and anyone else who enjoys crime stories and great cinema. It was also featured at the New York Film Festival recently, so there is a chance it will available in some select theaters in North America. As for Japan, you only chance to see it might be at the OEFF, so don't miss your chance when it comes around in November.
