I really liked Tracks, and while I wouldn't totally agree with your friend Antje's assessment, the Babylon Berlin series (serieses?) are certainly watchable and unusual!
Ah! Good extra perspective. Thank you. I still haven't managed to see it. But I may go and see Cabaret and hopefully get my dose of Berlin in the Thirties that way!
Wings of desire is in my top 5 of all time movies ♥️ That’s really interesting about how German cemeteries. We decided to scatter my Dads ashes at an estuary in East London (where he was born) in the Cape near the cemetery where his parents were buried and over the water because he loved fishing and near a golf course which he loved playing throughout my childhood. It’s the first time we’ve never had a grave stone in our family and it felt very right for all of us as my sister and I live abroad and my mum didn’t want us to have to tend to a grave. So interesting isn’t it, so personal and there is no right or wrong way across all cultures. Really fascinating x
It sounds like your father was buried on the wings of his own desires...all that he cared about a lot, in one place. You really found the right location for him. Burial rights and rituals are really interesting and I've just never really thought about them all that much. If I wasn't busy with other stuff, this is another rabbit hole I could easily dive down!
