Venice, Entry 9: Waiting for Miyazaki

[vladimirsever]

Everybody's leaving! I've just said my goodbyes to most of the Croatian film critic contingent here, and even my roommate is leaving today, which means that I'll finally be able to sleep next to an open window. Cinematic joys are getting fewer by the day, also, as the Mostra is visibly running out of steam. The one highlight of today will be Hayao

I think you've just watched more movies than I have in my entire life.

...

I bet you I beat you at computer time though. lol Miss you loads!

[vladimirsever]

Must watch more movies, Kaja! And don't worry, I'll start catching up on computer time as soon as I get back, which is in 30-odd hours.

See ya then!

Miyazaki!!! I love Miyazaki. Like I wasn't jealous enough before lol.

Glad you're having a good time! Wish I was there instead of back in school.

Go! Meet! Watch! Sleep!

Went! Met! Saw! Slept! And the time is good, even though the weather has been extremely unstable over the past few days. It's sunny now (Sunny!) but right after the Miyazaki press conference, we had a monsoony downpour that scared the bejesus out of everyone. And we all speculated on Hayao's influence with the ancient gods...

Thank you! One more update, and then it's packing time woe.

Hayao is so kind, shy, soft-spoken and unpretentious! He spent so much time giving autographs and clapping back to all the applauses he's been getting, everyone found him utterly adorable. He's been the single biggest highlight of Venice for me!

And "directress" because... the name of the personage in question isn't indicative of their gender! Right?

[vladimirsever]

Am perfectly aware of lackage of directresses in English vernacular! But you know me, I hardly ever take no for an answer...
