COLLECTED TWEETS (in reverse-order of appearance)

—
Rotterdam : my final tally stands at 40 features, 32 shorts. Best of the bunch: THROBS (1972), FINISTERRAE (2010) #IFFR http://bit.ly/fR3GNQ
—
Rotterdam: KING BOXER (Jeong ’72) 5+/10, or 14+/28. Festival fatigue made gory actioner a soporific slog. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: DRAGON INN (King ’66) 6/10, or 17/28. M-arts “classic” has fine setpieces, but sags when away from eponymous hostelry. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: underwhelming end to what was (thanks to FINISTERRAE and Lee Ranaldo) an outstanding #IFFR: DRAGON INN (6/10), KING BOXER (5/10)
—
Rotterdam : final night in R-town. Ending with ad-hoc chopsocky double-bill of DRAGON GATE INN and KING BOXER. Blowing a gale outside. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : FINISTERRAE auteur S.Caballero also (a) runs a top music festival and (b) is an esteemed wine-grower. Multi-talented chap! #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: THE MILL & THE CROSS (Majewski ’10/’11) 4/10, or 11/28. Speculative, presumptuous Brueghel-painting analysis/dramatisation. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: indeed, would like to see sequel, TALES OF HIRAYAMA & KOYATA. Tricky given what happens at end of 13A, but Miike can cope! #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : 13 ASSASSINS’ chalk-and-cheese badasses Koyata (Y.Iseya) & Hirayama (T.Ihara) join pantheon of great T.Miike characters. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: 13 ASSASSINS (Miike ’10) 7/10, or 20/28. Rousingly well-built Samurai epic – an hour of (draggy) buildup, an hour of climax#IFFR
—
@SonarFestival Amazing night in Rotterdam, and when they awarded FINISTERRAE it was like watching “my” team score winning goal in Cup final
—
Rotterdam. Third Tiger to JOURNALS OF MUSAN. Big night for Mr Park. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam. Second Tiger to ETERNITY. Fair enough. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam. First Tiger to FINISTERRAE. One word. Yes. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam. Lee Ranaldo performance. Rough magic. Coolest juror ever. Festival zenith. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam. Warm, busy Luxor for awards, easily best kino in town. Disaster if they demolish it. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: a chill, windy day. Off to the prize ceremony in less than an hour. No idea what’s won the Tigers. Forza Catalunya!#IFFR
—
Rotterdam : South Korea’s BLEAK NIGHT and THE JOURNALS OF MUSAN lead an open field for the Tiger awards. Perhaps. http://bit.ly/h3fbU0 #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : audience is liking Korean Tigers. Their picks : (1) JOURNALS OF MUSAN, (2) GROMOZEKA, (3) BLEAK NIGHT http://bit.ly/dKDg0L #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: after mucho discussion tonight, seems everyone shares my hatred of IMAGE THREADS. FINISTERRAE wildly divisive (good sign!) #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : THE CITY THAT NEVER RESTS (von Maydell ’28) 6/10, or 16/28. Fascinating time-capsule of bygone R’dam, restored with sound. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : FLYING FISH one of the lousier pictures in competition, but painful political subject-matter may nevertheless yield Tiger. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : FLYING FISH (Pushpakurama ’11) 3/10, or 7/28. Bad news when you know less about subject (Tamil war) after pic than before. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : JOURNALS OF MUSAN – downbeat, serious picture which will strike chords with many, but a bit too misery-by-numbers for me. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : THE JOURNALS OF MUSAN (Park ’10) 6/10, or 15/28. Overlong, patchily engaging chronicle of N.Kor defector adrift in Seoul. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : BAD POSTURE (Murray ’11) 4/10, or 10/28. Bad picture! Charmless slackery/mumblecorey lo-fi cousin of Affleck’s THE TOWN. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: THE IMAGE THREADS: depressing to see director try so many different modes of film-making in a single movie, so disastrously #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : today’s films have already included two chopped-off cocks (THREADS, FISH) and two dead dogs in the street (MUSAN, FISH) #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : Tiger alternates : ETERNITY, FINISTERRAE (fingers crossed!), THE SKY ABOVE, FLYING FISH. A pretty open year, prize-wise. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : my tips for the Tigers : BLEAK NIGHT (consensus solid), GO YONDER ALICIA (sole female), RAINY SEASONS (coz it’s Iranian) #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: having seen all 14 competition films, the only Tiger-worthy entries are (still) FINISTERRAE and BLEAK NIGHT. Next: ETERNITY #IFF
—
Rotterdam : quick update : BAD POSTURE (4/10), THE JOURNALS OF MUSAN (6/10), FLYING FISH (4/10). More to follow! #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: THE IMAGE THREADS (Vijay ’10). 1/10, or 2/28. Worst film of the competition, of the festival, and maybe of the year.
—
Rotterdam: one hour into THE IMAGE THREADS press show, and i’m the only viewer left, all others having bailed. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: after 7 full days, tally is 31 features (incl. 7 walkouts), 3 shorts programmes. Busiest was Tuesday – 6 films, 0 walkouts. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: sneaked into final 20 min of FINISTERRAE at Pathé. Knocked out again by coda. Most folk I spoke to after liked it very much #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: HOSPITALITÉ (Fukada ’10) 6/10, or 17/28. Amusing low-budget Japanese comedy o’manners runs out of inspiration in final act #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: KOMMANDER KULAS… (Khavn ’11) 6?/10, or 15?/28. Provocative conceptual/structural experimenta from IFFR-funded “maverick” #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: UNPLUGGED (Jousse ’10/’11) 5/10, or 12/28. Patchy, self-satisfied little French comedy. Musical/surreal touches, weak lead #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: WATER HANDS (Todorovic ’10/’11) 5/10, or 13/28. Some limpid DV visuals add class to a lukewarm narrated-epistolary romance #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: GROMOZEKA currently top among Tiger contenders in Audience voting (37 overall), then BLEAK NIGHT (44)http://bit.ly/dKDg0L #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: GROMOZEKA (Kott ’10/’11) 5/10, or 14/28. Ordinary, fairly mainstream Russian bittersweet comedy – why’s it in competition? #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : an interim dispatch, mainly about FINISTERRAE and BLEAK NIGHT #IFFRhttp://bit.ly/eKF1jz
—
Rotterdam : audience-award top 3 is Incendies / Biutiful / Illegal; bottom 2 are Dharma Guns / Film Socialisme#IFFR http://bit.ly/f1Rt4m
—
Rotterdam: 10 Tigers down, 4 left. My ranking: 1. Finisterrae, 2. Bleak Night, 3. Eternity, 4. All Your Dead Ones, 5. Alicia Go Yonder #IFFR

—
Rotterdam : star spotting. Bumped into Lee Ranaldo at Doelen. Quick chat, mentioned my essay on Benning/Smithson. #IFFRhttp://bit.ly/g48Oqz
—
Rotterdam: THE STOKER (Balabanov ’10) 7/10,or 19/28. Fast-paced, well-choreographed crime-farce, with terrific (sarcastic) soundtrack #IFFR

—
Rotterdam: another day, another increase in my regard for FINISTERRAE (only film here I’m actively recommending when asked). Now 8/10! #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : ALL YOUR DEAD ONES. Fleeting magical-realist touches (corpses coming to “life”) mar otherwise-nifty black-comic nightmare #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : ALL YOUR DEAD ONES (Moreno ’11) 6/10,or 16/28. Tart, cynical rural-Colombian parable of dysfunctional/corrupt authorities #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: 10 of the 14 Tigers down, and still keeping to my no-walkout vow. Came mighty close with grating LOVE ADDICTION, however. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: LOVE ADDICTION (Uchida ’10) 4/10,or 9/28 Lousy-looking (bad video) not-so-bizarre love-rhombus from Jpn. Tearful histrionix #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: ALICIA, GO YONDER. Notable as (a) shortest competing pic at 67 mins and (b) sole female director among the 14 – regrettable #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: ALICIA, GO YONDER (Miller ’10) 6/10, or 15/28. Delicate miniature exploring a 19-year-old’s world of sensory impressions. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: I walked out of HEADSHOTS after 30 mins at Viennale last autumn – turns out my instincts were correct. 1st dud among Tigers #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: HEADSHOTS (Tooley ’10) 3/10, or 8/28. A kind of BLACK SWAN for the Berlin fashion-photography scene, but much less amusing #IFFR

—
Rotterdam: THE SKY ABOVE. Focussing on just one of the subjects might have yielded more fruitful results than cutting between em. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: THE SKY ABOVE (Borges ’10) 5/10, or 14/28. Drab-looking Brazilian docu/fiction hybrid about 3 self-absorbed city-dwellers #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: BLEAK NIGHT could well win a Tiger prize here. Pity there isn’t a Best Actor gong – young Lee Je-hun would be frontrunner #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: catalogue entry for HINTER DIESEN BERGEN begins “A suffocating blanket of boredom hangs over the Swiss town”… Tempting! #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: have been thinking about magnificently bonkers FINISTERRAE all day. More I think about it more I like it. Rating now 20/28. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: BLEAK NIGHT (Yoon ’10) 7/10, or 18/28. Steely, intense Korean high-school bullying/suicide drama – outstanding performances #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: lowest four in Audience Award : DHARMA GUNS, VOULEZ-VOUS COUCHER AVEC GOD? (1972), FILM SOCIALISME (!), BUTTERFLY L’ATTESA #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: HOT AS HELL – THE DEADBEAT MARCH (Okuda ’10) 4?/10, or 9?/28 – walkout @ 40m. Antic, no-budget, laugh-free crime “comedy” #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: ETERNITY, part-funded by IFFR, is very “Rotterdam” and may appeal to jurors. Only “buzzed” competitor so far: FLYING FISH #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: ETERNITY (Sivaroj ’10) 6/10, or 16/28. Restrained, slow chronicle of a restrained, slow, chaste courtship, rural-Thai style #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : FINISTERRAE is my favourite of the three Tiger competitors I’ve seen so far – risk-taking, great-looking, often hilarious #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: THE BARON (Pera ’11) 3?/10, or 8?/28 – walkout after 40m. Leaden, pretentious, overcooked pastiche of BW 30s/40s horrors. #IFFR

—
Rotterdam: FINISTERRAE (Siero ’10) 7/10, or 19/28. A.Serra and A.Jodorowsky meet M.Python – and Python comes out on top. Nicely loopy #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : predictably, D.Villeneuve’s gripping INCENDIES tops Audience voting http://bit.ly/f1Rt4m. My review: http://bit.ly/gtBofc #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : Svetlana Proskurina’s outstanding TRUCE (http://bit.ly/gtBofc) shows here tomorrow 1645 (Schouwburg), also Fri/Sat, Pathé #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : ROSE AND JASMINE (Pilz ’11) 7/10, or 19/28. Fragments of everyday Iran – a delicate, demanding/rewarding travel-diary @#IFFR
—

Rotterdam : BEHIND THESE MOUNTAINS (Krummenacher ’10) 7/10, or 19/28. Drab visuals for nicely off-kilter Swiss tale of female pals @ #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : Sparta Rotterdam hammered TBC Roosendaal 4-1 on Friday evening. Sparta currently lying 7th in Dutch football’s 2nd tier. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : THE UNUSUAL ADVENTURES OF MR WEST IN THE LAND OF THE BOLSHEVIKS (Kuleshov ’24) 6/10, or 16/28. Special with live orchest @ #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : RAINY SEASONS. Competent, slightly underdramatised chronicle of glum youth. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : RAINY SEASONS (Barzegar ’10) 6/10, or 15/28. Tehran 20yo’s romantic, financial entanglements. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: 6/10s previous seen: HEARTBEATS, AITA/FATHER, GESHER, POST MORTEM, SILENT SOULS. 5/10s: CARANCHO, SOMEWHERE, LUCIA, POETRY, #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : I also previously saw TRUCE [8/10], INCENDIES, SHELTER, TENDER SON… and AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF NICOLAE CEAUSESCU [all 7/10]. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : bonkers BLACK SWAN [6?/10] is playing here. I finally got round to reviewing it, a fortnight “late”:http://bit.ly/eH8JQ4 #IFFR

—
Rotterdam : So much for my revised “no more than 1 walkout per day” resolution. Still aiming to stick with all the Tiger pics, though.#IFFR
—
Rotterdam : THE WINTER OF THE ODD ONES OUT (Guerrero ’10) 4?/10, or 10/28 – walkout after 30 mins. Drabsville doings in backwater Arg. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : THE LAST BUFFALO HUNT (Schmitt ’11) 7/10, or 19/28. Ruminative/brutal meditation on American frontier/Western iconography. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: mainly shorts day. Pick: oldie THROBS (5*), then Finnish PLAYERS in Tiger comp; STARDUST; _ ___ (’67) (all 4*) #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: star spotting: keeping eyes peeled for juror Lee Ranaldo. Clocked an animated M.Amalric outside afternoon press show @ #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : SLOW ACTION (Rivers ’11, 45m short) ****/5, or 9/13. Quartet of fanciful Utopias = Patrick Keiller’s WATER WRACKETS. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: 1st masterpiece of festival. THROBS (’72) by Fred Worden (7m, 16mm) in Calif av-garde shorts programme. *****/5, or 12/13. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : My new year resolution was “no walkouts”. After two days here that’s been revised to “no more than one walkout per day”. #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : NOIR OCEAN (Hänsel ’10). 4?/10, or 10?/28 – walkout after 50min. A little BEAU TRAVAIL, a little INTRUS, but MH’s no Denis #IFFR
—

Rotterdam : MY JOY (Loznitsa ’10). 5/10, or 12/28. Mordant nefarious misery in the wilds of ex-USSR; humour-flecked but becomes a slog #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : TRIPTYCH… (Ketelaars & v/d Wildenberg ’11). 6/10, or 16/28. Steady anthropological/architectural scrutiny of C21 Dutch #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : TYRANNOSAUR (Considine ’11 [c10]). 6/10, or 16/28. Solid enough, but no more than a “promising” feat-dir debut for Paddy #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: ‘Rear View Mirror’ 9 restored CA av/garde shorts 1963-80. ****/5: OLIVIA’S PLACE, 7362, HAND HELD DAY, DOCUMENTARY FOOTAGE #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : CHARACTERS (Son ’11). 4?/10, or 9?/28 – walkout after 1hr. Good-looking, but fatal combo of snail-paced and smart-arsed #IFFR
—
Rotterdam : BLINDING (Sanguedolce ’11). 5/10, or 13/28. Interviews with 3 interesting folks, gussied up with pseudo-avantgarde visuals #IFFR
—
Rotterdam: #IFFR opener WASTED YOUTH (5/10) = L.Clark’s KIDS + T.Anastopoulos’s CORRECTION + Seidl’s IMPORT/EXPORT ÷ Hitchcock’s THE LODGER
—
Rotterdam : WASTED YOUTH (Papadimitropoulos & *Vogel* {sorry} ’11). 5/10, or 13/28. Ho-hum sk8-themed Greek opener for#IFFR – weak finale

… the club continued to exist, and in 1899, the board of Sparta visited a match of Sunderland AFC. Impressed with the red-white jersey of the English club, the board decided that Sunderland’s colours (red-white striped jersey, black shorts) would henceforth be the colours of Sparta.
