The weather was terrible (well, most of the time). The films were good (well, most of the time). Our four days of #diagonale film festival are over - goodbye, #graz!

Looking forward to watching these absolutely STUNNING limited editions of #davidcronenberg s „The Brood“ and „Scanners“ from @secondsightfilms.bsky.social !
Those covers are incredible!

#stadtkinowien is pretty much on fire with their selection of classic sneaks! (It was WHALE RIDER yesterday.)

I usually hate surprise screenings, but now I‘ve seen two in a row, after Friday‘s #nonstopkino birthday party.

At the Nonstop Kinoabo 2nd birthday party @gartenbaukino.at . No idea which film to expect.

In Memoriam #genehackman - The French Connection — and @nachtblende.bsky.social final screening of the season - Rosemary‘s Baby @gartenbaukino.at — two films shot only three years apart and even set in the same city but whole stilistic worlds between them #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

A nice double feature: Tarsem Singh‘s THE FALL at @gartenbaukino.at , then Ti West‘s HOUSE OF THE DEVIL as a #fridayfrights surprise screening at #burgkino !

Watching Robert Altman’s The Player at @gartenbaukino.bsky.social : double-breasted early nineties Armani suits as wide as a black Land Rover and gigantic gaudy patterned silk ties and palm trees and postcards and I love every single pitch in this.

I love that @gartenbaukino.bsky.social s Robert Altman retrospective includes some of his lesser known films - I haven‘t seen this one yet

A great double feature: IMAGES as part of @gartenbaukino.bsky.social s Robert Altman retrospective, and the @nachtblende.bsky.social screening of Takashi Miike‘s VISITOR Q! #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

Last time I saw this film I was roughly the age Dylan was when it was shot - now, 17 years later, it‘s fun to see how my perspective on things has (partly) shifted and how incredibly YOUNG Dylan was back then. #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

It is completely beyond my understanding why German distributors feel the need to change film titles like this. It‘s the same title, except ONE MORE WORD. It‘s still English, just… different. Why?? #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

As a kid, my favorite Gene Hackman performance was *obviously* Lex Luthor. Now it is (equally obviously?) his performance in Francis Ford Coppola‘s masterpiece THE CONVERSATION. Rest in Peace Gene Hackman - still love to see you angry about Otisburg, though! #filmsky #genehackman #rip #restinpeace

Finally, after having been sick for a while (thanks, Berlinale!) I‘m back in the cinema - for @gartenbaukino.bsky.social s delightful mini retrospective for Robert Altman‘s 100th birthday. Excellent selection of films, sad to already have missed some great ones! #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

My personal pet peeve with multiplex cinemas: on the smaller screens, the coating that the screens need for the polarized 3D makes everything look smeared and blurry and terrible. #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

Great cast and in a way a lot of fun, I didn‘t remember Boyer‘s character being that infuriating! #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

I know it‘s a bit basic to love modernism and brutalism as architectural styles, but well, that‘s who I am I guess? Oh and the movie is absolutely fantastic. I expected something very epic and was blown away by its incredible intimacy. #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

Watching a Polish mega classic at #filmarchivaustria #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

Oh what an intense and completely bonkers masterpiece by Mr Zulawski! I think I‘ll have to binge the rest of his filmography soon, I had only seen POSSESSION before. Thank you #filmarchivaustria for screening this weird gem! #filmdiary #kinowien #filmsky

I recently binged through the WHOLE of Powell & Pressburger‘s shared works and most of Powell‘s solo efforts. I had seen all the classics before, but wanted to close the gaps before watching the doc about them called MADE IN ENGLAND. Even their „worst“ films are immensely enjoyable! #filmsky

I was embarassingly unaware of this film, but it sounds extremely intriguing and @julianstockinger.bsky.social s #nachtblende programming has never disappointed me so far @gartenbaukino.bsky.social #filmdiary #filmsky #kinowien

EKSTASE (1933) amazing how hot a 92 year old love scene can still be 🥵

WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE, a film that used to be on heavy rotation in German public television (where I got A TON of my film education from ❤️) - oh and now „Letter to Daddy“ is once again stuck in my head #filmdiary #filmsky
