The Dressmaker

I’m a big Kate Winslet fan so when I saw the posters for The Dressmaker I knew I had to see it. What I thought was a typical drama set in the 50s turned out to be something quit different. The movie was full of surprises and it managed something quit difficult, to be sad and funny at the […]

Hydrangea Mania

 

I might have missed the cherry blossom season in Tokyo but I arrived just in time for hydrangeas.I saw them everywhere in Tokyo; in the well kept gardens, next to train tracks, on the balconies of skyscrapers and other unexpected places. I couldn’t stop taking pictures of them and I probably looked quit silly doing it. I got a curious […]

The first time I attended was probably ten years ago, I remember it raining so much we had difficulty getting the car out of the mud. For a number of […]

East Side Gallery

 

If there’s one place that you’ll find on every travel guide about Berlin, it’s East side Gallery and after you’ve visited “the wall” you’ll understand why. There’s so many different  styles and such vivid colours, I found it very  inspiring!

Master of her craft

 

Fairy tales are constantly being reinterpreted on the big screen and costumes are an important part of conveying that other worldliness. That’s why I’ll watch the movies even though I’ve heard the story a million times before. With  Mirror Mirror I think the creators were trying to update the fairy tale with a few jokes […]
