Homo Viator

For the next week or so you will find a new video from my China trip every day. I took quite a lot!

Below my visit to wicked Movie World, or pardon, Even Better Than Movie World. I ended up buying around 200 DVDs and am longing to go back and buy more. I would have bought more, but my suitcase just could not handle more and we went to the store just prior to leaving back to Germany. All DVDs are in perfect quality (no in-the-cinema filming) and even come with the original boxes, etc. Language change, subtitles, everything works! The best was the shop`s selection though, which can rival any European retailer. The way I like buying DVDs best is by director and they had amazing director selections. For example, I bought all Woody Allen movies that he ever made (47! DVDs), all Cohen Brother movies, all Ang Lee movies, all Stanley Kubrik movies, all Louis Malle movies, all Fassbinder movies (can you believe it, they even had the classic German directors, even expressionists!), etc. I also bought a great collection of all Cannes Film Festival winners since the introduction of the festival 60 years ago. By the way: Go watch all Cohen Brother movies. They truly are geniuses, every movie is so distinct. You watch Raising Arizon and really ask yourself how they could make a serious piece like Miller`s Crossing afterwards.
