Burkhard Dallwitz

Just saw “The Way Back” earlier this week, since it has premiered on January 13th in The Netherlands. It’s definitely a must see film. Especially for the great landscapes and Peter Weir’s great way of filming it. A brief introduction: The Way Back is a war drama film about a group of prisoners who escape from a Siberian Gulag camp during World War II, following their journey as they struggle their way to freedom in the most extreme weather circumstances. The great thing about it is that it’s based on a true story.

Burkhard Dallwitz did the scoring for this film. Probably one of the most important things in a film that can draw my attention is the score. Towards the end of the film the group had made their way to “Tibet“, at this point of relief a very emotional melody comes in, and the camera starts floating over Tibet’s great landscape. But the scoring also knows some threatening and soothing melodies like “Interrogation” and “Lake Baikal“. Get your tickets to see this beautiful motion picture and if you like the score by Burkhard Dallwitz like I did, get it here!

Club Brut

On February 4th, Club Brut is held for the first time in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands. Club Brut is an exclusive society. With Moët & Chandon, Belvedere, Dom Pérignon, Veuve Clicquot and Hennessy as partners, plus American Express supporting this upcoming event, this will sure be a cool party to drop by if you happen to live in The Netherlands. Location: an old church, The Orangerie.

It seems that tickets can only be bought through a closed network of ‘ambassadors’, or through American Express if you’re lucky enough to own a Platinum of Centurion (black) credit card. Try getting your tickets by e-mailing your hostess, Lucky, on Lucky@Clubbrut.com and you might get lucky too…

Brutblog will be there giving you a flash report on how the Dutch party. And we all know, that the Dutch do it big.

Happy 2011!

I just found a nice quote from Philippe Petit, one of the legendary high wire artists of our times. A powerful and motivating piece of text that should boost each and everyone of you out there this year, the year of the rabbit.

Hanna

Monseigneur Kevin — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 23:09:43 +0000

A must see movie, with a great cast. Hanna played by the very talented Saoirse Ronan (Atonement, The Lovely Bones) is a girl who was brought up in a forest in Finland while being trained to be an assassin by her father Erik played by Eric Bana (The Hulk, Munich), completely isolated from the real world, the people and life, she eventually yearns to be in the real world. So, she does it and is then set on a mission to kill a woman called Marissa Wiegler played by Cate Blanchett (The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, The Lord Of The Rings). But they begin to chase her when they find out that she’s not this innocent little girl, but actually a killing machine.

The film is directed by Joe Wright who also directed the beautiful “Atonement” and The Chemical Brothers are scoring this epic film. Hanna will open nationwide on Friday, April 8th 2011.

Check out the trailer below.
