In my struggle to balance my love of film with my need to eat, sleep, and pay these bills, there will inevitably be casualties. One of which would be the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center’s Latin American Film Festival 2011 in Silver Spring, MD, which I somehow managed to hear and read nothing about before this morning. Going through the list of films being offered, one in particular stood out to me, and I’m sorry I missed it.

It opened this weekend in New York City, and will gradually expand to other cities around the country, each of the next few weeks... MsWOO saw it at the London Film Festival last fall, and reviewed it then; I'm reposting that review here for obvious reasons...

A German film I initially profiled back in September 2010, when it was selected for Fantastic Fest 2010. It's since screened at a number of film festivals across the globe, and, as I learned over the weekend, officially opened in theaters in Germany on September 22nd, just last week Thursday, although I was under the impression that it had already played there.
