Back to Berlin to celebrate the wedding of my friend and partner in crime, Thorsten Wettcke. Another good friend I met here is Volker Schlöndorff. He gave me his book - which I highly recommend. Moving, inspiring and very well written, it shot right up into my top ten of filmmaker's memoirs. Volker went through a lot of bashing here last year when he condemned TV networks for gorging on film funds. It's good to see him restored - the book is winning raves from critics nationwide.
