[Ekphantos]

My guess was Gabriel Garcia Marquez (as he is also one of my favourite writers), so I checked on IMDB and really "Love in the Time of Cholera".
It says the release date of this film is the 26th of December THIS YEAR and I haven't heard anything about it yet

[ADR147]

21st march 2008 here - so not much chance of having seen it - i think nina is cheating a bit!

[Ekphantos]

So, I just post another one (already released )

[Nina]

21st march 2008 here - so not much chance of having seen it - i think nina is cheating a bit!

It was released two days ago in Greece. I saw the preview on TV and I want to go see it.
I never cheat.

[ADR147]

lol we don't even have the previews nina!

[Nina]

I didn't check the release dates for all the European countries tbh. I saw the preview and thought it'd make a good Q.
Btw, ADR, I said the novelist is South American, so you didn't need the whole list of the Nobel prize winners really...

Back on topic, is the film "Nosferatu"?

[Ekphantos]

No, but the genre is right!

[ADR147]

just thought the whole list might be fun!

[Nina]

You're nuts!

The horror film... how old is it?

[Ekphantos]

It is also from the same era as Nosferatu.

[Ekphantos]

So a bit more:
It is a German/Austrian production. There was discussion about banning the film, because it would reveil too much about crime scene investigation.

[ADR147]

i suspect - although i don't remember this scene, that it might be the cabinet of doctor caligari ? right time right place aswell?
