Reading and working in the morning.
Visiting Cinema Sture where I watch a relatively new film by Nanni Moretti: Il Caimano ("The Caiman"/"Kajmanen - B-filmarens revansch").
This film is about an unfortunate B-film producer. Noone wants to help him finance his latest project and his is also in the process of divorcing his wife. They have two children.
Initially he wants to make a film about Christopher Columbus and his glorious(?) return from America but drops the idea when he meets a young woman who has written a script called Il Caiman.
He agrees to make this film without having read the script. The young woman, with no experience of the filmindustry is going to direct it.
When he finally realises it's a story about Berlusconi, criticising him for being corrupted and a clown (true but hardly controversial?), he hesitates to make it.
Most of his friends, the actors and other involved in the project feels this item being to controversial.
At the same time they conclude that "everybody knows about how manipulative and corrupted Berlusconi is".
We follow the making of the film, the backlashes and the final result for better or worse.
From a scale from one to five I give it three+ points.
I Vitelloni | Federico Fellini (1953) Trailer

I vitteloni ("The gang"/"Gänget") by Federico Fellini is film number two this day.
This film tells the story about a group of young men in a small town in Italy who all have big dreams concerning their future.
They want to leave the small countrytown where they lived all their lives and move to a bigger city where they of course expect things to become much better.
One of them leaves but comes back after a while, gets married and continues his life as before more or less. Only one of them finally leave for good, the one who noone thought would leave.
We follow their lifes, their struggle to survive both mentally and economically, preferably without working, love affairs, and pleasures.
Between three and four points I give this film 3+.
Between these two movies, we visit the covert market, Östermalms saluhall a relatively big temple of food in the most fashionable part of Stockholm.
There we happened to see one of Swedens most celebrated and published authors, Jan Guillou. He is a regular customer.
A former communist who with increasing wealth created through his books about the Swedish intelligence man Carl Hamilton and the medieval character Arn, since long leads a life far from any of the ideals he ones claimed he cherisched! Not a new story but a recurrent theme within the chic-leftists in Sweden and many other European countries.
You might remember Jean Paul Sartre who refused to accept the Nobel Prize in litterature but who - after a couple of years when he was short of money - contacted the Nobel committee wanting his Nobel Prize money disbursed!
Oh ideals, how fast you vanish!
