Totted up film count and it turns out I saw 24 films in my 8 days at #sanseb11, which is pretty good going, I think.

I'll take Jean Dujardin over Gene Kelly any day. And to counter all the Gosling/Hardy hetero man-love, I'm just besotted with Bérénice Bejo.

So Michael Fassbender was at last night's San Sebastian bash. The whole atmosphere was furtive and charged, like Hampstead Heath after dark.

3 Musketeers *almost* enjoyably silly rather than just plain stupid but every time there's a good bit there are four or five terrible bits.

Story is about a community of Christian and Muslim women trying to prevent violence breaking out in their village by distracting the men.

Nadine Labaki's Where Do We Go Now? is a worthy follow-up to Caramel. Very funny, wonderful comic ensemble. #sanseb11

...let's say the experimental nature of many of the pinxtos, e.g. combining 3, 4 or 5 things on one piece of bread. Like Scooby snacks.

Miss Bala was excellent. Could have been made by Los Hermanos Dardennes, judging by all the back-of-head shots. Gripping stuff. #sanseb11
