First things first: yesterday Mr. Johnston was freed in Gaza. Maybe my complaints that both the BBC and the UK government were extremely silent about Johnston didn’t have merit -- although I doubt it if the BBC and the UK Government must be credited for his release.
Last night I saw (together with my “amante” who came to visit me with her stuffed animals, so I was forced to move to the couch) the Swiss movie Vitus. The theatre was almost empty, but the movie was excellent. A fairytale and I don’t like fairytales, but for once a digestible fairytale. And Bruno Ganz of course is always worth watching.
