Hello from Vienna! This evening’s event “Denkpausen mit Grzegorz Kwiatkowski” is at the International Centre for Cultural Research. In the photo: St. Marx Cemetery, one of Vienna’s most beautiful spots and where Mozart is buried. Just next to it is a small cemetery beehive.

Hip hip hooray for Idan Weiss’s nomination for the European Film Awards for his title role in Kafka directed by A. Holland! A wonderful, brilliant, truly masterful performance that reminds me of young Leonardo DiCaprio as Arthur Rimbaud in Total Eclipse, also directed by Holland. Go go go FRANZ!
