Vienna Café cooks up with a Truffaut movie this coming Thursday! One of film history´s most important directors didn't only write and direct Les 400 coups, Jules et Jim, Baisers volés...but also Le Dernier métro (The last metro), which is the movie of choice for this week.

Vienna Café once again enriches our existence with an LGBT-related movie! On Thursday 24 September the "dark Irish comedy" Breakfast on Pluto from 2005 will be featured. Director Neil Jordan is previously known for The Crying Game and Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles.

Oh no, unfortunate update! The folks at Vienna Cafe are no longer going to be able to screen Buenos Aires Zero Degree, the documentary about the making of Wong Kar Wai's Happy Together because a Hong Kong artist management company has complained. The company, called Project House, says they manage some of the actors in Wong Kar Wai's film and have demanded Vienna Cafe to cancel the screening and to apologize. Vienna Cafe has asked for proof of their ownership of the rights to Buenos Aires, but in the meantime have replaced Thursday's screening with the Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep vehicle, The Hours.

Update: Due to ownership quarrels, the film Buenos Aires Zero Degree will not be screened as planned on Thursday. Vienna Café is replacing it with Stephen Daldry´s The Hours. And while that´s an awesome movie, it´s still a sad exchange, since The Hours has probably already been seen by most of us and is very easy to access - while...heaven knows when we´ll get the chance to see that Wong Kar Wai Documentary again...
