Seeing The Third Man in Vienna is just about as perfect a film experience as one can have, so yesterday I went to see Carol Reed‘s masterpiece at the Burg Kino in Vienna, the location of the film (as if you didn’t know!). The theater is a really cool arthouse that plays the original version of films, no dubbing. It screens The Third Man several times/week. Just before the screening I went out to the Prater amusement park which features the Ferris Wheel pictured below, an important image in the film.
If you want to get to the Prater, you might take the tram pictured here:
That is fantastic, damn you — like I have time to go watch the movie right now! I have things to do, you know …
Heh heh heh! That’s my job, providing distraction!
