Blogging from the Internet Station at the Thermal Hotel in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, host of the 46th Annual International Film Festival here. We've seen several films, including the gripping Belgian film Rundskop, in which a young cattle farmer is confronted with shady dealings with the underground hormone mafia, the unexpected murder of a policeman, and a confrontation with events from his past lead to a confluence of events with unfortunate and extreme consequences. As the director said before the beginning of this screen, if you want to feel like you've engaged in a bit of self-masochism once you've walked out of the theatre, stay for this movie... And surely, the movie was a bit torturous at times, both in its graphic nature and emotionally exhausting content. The ending, though, was a little too literal for my taste.
