@ wpqx: 

Haven't you noticed the thread I opened for the Festival of Gérardmer? I spend the last weekend there together with two friends - this was my access to "Diary of the Dead" (I doubt that it'll be released theatrically here - it's a little, very "independent" film, in no way comparable to the quite costly "Land of the Dead") and "The Cremator" - that's why the latter was shown with French subtitles. We were extremely impressed by it and one of my friends immediately ordered the Second Run-DVD after we returned to Germany, so I'll be able to watch it with understandable subtitles very soon (after the Berlinale, I guess). 

@ arsaib: 

I'd love to read your post on "Fear X", did you like it? I think this film requires a personal opening from the viewer which goes a little but significant bit beyond the level that most films ask for - that's probably why it is a problem for many to get into it. 

Btw, the bavarian comedy ("Tödliche Verbindungen") was quite enjoyable but there were no visitors for the pornographic cartoon though it was "Once upon a Girl" (1976) by Don Jurwich, the producer of "Scooby Doo" (the animated version) and "The Flintstones"!
