ISTANBUL starring Florian Lukas (Rokko), Erdal Yildiz (Celal). SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA starring Peter Scherer (Gabor), Miguel de Lira (Sargento Barreira).

In the presence of the film-making team. Viewed at Berlinale Palast, Berlin Film Festival (Competition) main screening, 12 Feb 2005. Tales of four cities during the Champions' League football game. The pretext is much like Jim Jarmusch (Night on Earth, Coffee and Cigarettes), but Hannes Stöhr has a humoristic approach which is all his own. As it was close to midnight and this was the fifth film of the day, I had difficulty focusing, but this might be a film worth revisiting.
