WARNING: May Cause Recurring Nightmares

It seems German designer Patrick Mohr is so far ahead of fashion, that no one really knows what he was thinking...

Ummm...

But we all know I'm pro-hair, so I'm going to say that's a good thing.

Here are some pics from his show at the recent Berlin Fashion Week:

Reminds me of that cheesy old horror film The Tommyknockers (based on the Stephen King novel), but with additional facial hair and better outfits. Actually, I quite like the designs, it's just kinda hard to see past the freak flags flying.

In this clip, you can see Mohr has his own sweet 'stache & chops combo going on.

Andrei Tarkovsky is hot

... and brilliant

... and he has a mo

... and what more could I ask for in a man?

He directed Stalker, pretty much the best film you'll ever see.

Some beautiful polaroids.

unrealized suggestion"

Krabat

I went to see the film Krabat last night, at the German Film Festival held at the Chauvel cinema in Sydney. It was likened to Harry Potter, but very different in my mind. It was about a group of black magic apprentices who run a mill in 18th century Germany, narrated with the tone of a dark fable. The catch-phrase is "Everything comes with a price". It's based on the book by Otfried Preussler. 

There's quite a few good German actors in it, including Daniel Bruhl (from Goodbye Lenin! and The Edukators) and Robert Stadlober (from Summer Storm). David Kross, from The Reader (also recommended) played the lead role of Krabat. In the film Krabat's "coming of age" moment in symbolised by the growth of his facial hair, a light moustache. I was lucky enough to see the actor actually introduce the film in the cinema.

Into The Wild

Emile Hirsch grew a beard for his role as Christopher McCandless (aka Alexander Supertramp) in Into The Wild. This is one of the most moving and inspirational films I have ever seen. It follows the true story of McCandless as, after graduating, he shuns expectations to go tramping around America and Canada. Sean Penn is a truly great director. Compare the photos of McCandless and Hirsch below.
