After a test on Monday and my report on Brecht and his composers today, there is not much to put on the blog this week. The report took all class period, and I was pleased that my classmates had questions and seemed interested in what I was saying and wanted to know more.
Frau Wagner reported that the German Department has some money to spend on German films. I think that she may have wanted suggestions. OK… Here is a place in America that sells German language films (many have subtitles) that have been difficult to find.
I was happy to see that they have the ‘Sissi’ movies with Romy Schnider. I am always stunned when a smart, well-educated German student looks at me with a blank look and states, with total sincerity, that they have never heard of Elisabeth, Sissi, the “Sissi” movies or Romy Schneider.
Here is some for news for Brecht fans… a new photo of Bertolt Brecht dressed in a costume to look like Mozart was in the online newspaper sueddeutsche.de
And oh yes, I wish everyone a happy Spring Break. :-)
great thank you for the link. Is there a movie you would want us to buy? I am definitely going to buy Sissi! Hope it will have subtitles.
