Tonight's virtual film festival outing, Ulrike Ottinger's 1979 film Bildnis Einer Trinkerin / Ticket of No Return, which sees Tabea Blumenschein (who sadly died in March) as the nameless 'She' singlehandedly depleting West Berlin of all its alcohol in a singleminded campaign of surrealist binge drinking whilst decked out in ludicrously glamorous couture straight out of a Duran Duran video. It's probably indicative of an evening going majestically awry if punk poetess Nina Hagen is one of your bar buds, and you decide that crashing through a wall of flaming boxes on the bonnet of a car is an ideal post-pub activity. Absolutely no idea what the hell was going on, but had a great time not figuring it out.
