Here we go again - over one month since the last post to this site. This may be due to the fact that I started working for Swedish software house Mogul the 1st of December. My mind has been elsewhere. It has been a pleasant and tiresome experience this far. Getting into a team with highperformers running at extraterrestial speed towards a deadline and still making a contribution is self-assuring but tiresome. Having worked with the swedish tax authorities for 4 years - the contrast in speed is obvious as well as the professionalism of the team. Suddenly everyone is interested in delivering software as fast and good as possible. Well that is heaven for a software developer.
Well, well. I was supposed to write about the two last movies of the Stockholm Film Festival. The first one was
Un long dimanche de fiançailles
(A Very Long Engagement) by
Jean-Pierre Jeunet with
Audrey Tautou as Mathilde, a young woman waiting for the return of her boyfriend that went into the first world war and never came back. She feels inside that he is not dead and pursues every little glimpse of hope there is. An immensely beautiful film set in France at the beginning of the last century.
The second film was
Innocence (Ghost in the Shell 2) by Japanese anime director
Mamoru Ishii. A future Japan that is pictured with immense detail and a distinct mystic feeling. The story itself is philosophical though filled with action. A beautiful film that makes we wanna see the first one soon.
