kafka inspired

i watched no man’s land last night. i still cannot move beyond the final scene. haunting. it keeps replaying in my mind. seriously. why is it that we are so attached to our own material existence? why can we not act for a better future in spite of ourselves?

the movie won best foreign film at the 2001 oscars... but what’s the point? isn’t the story essentially being repeated over and over again all over the world?

anyway, looking up the reviews after, this one struck me as somewhat comical: "...[laced] with the kind of dark humor that eastern europeans have been specializing in since kafka." – premiere [glenn kenny].
