We learned a lot in this movie by Doris Dörrie, on Zen and cooking. Holger had tickets, so we went. The movie was done wonderfully, and what we were taught about food and life as well. The director was there to talk with us, and Zen teacher Edward Brown came as a special treat and surprise guest after the show. A great man saying difficult things in a simple way. Be patient, be attentive, live every moment to the fullest, do whatever you do with all your mind and body and heart, listen to what the world, and even the humblest things around you tell you, they will change you, food will cook your life.
We had to leave early to make it to the next movie, which we just about managed. "Goodbye Bafana" by Bille August, based on the novel by James Gregory, warder in charge of Nelson Mandela for twenty years, who changed from a strong believer in apartheid into an ally of the free South Africa.
It was 2 am by the time I was back home, and had had not much sleep, since I'm off to the doctors again now. I wished I could sleep a bit more. But it's not to be when Berlinale is on.
