Back in Nijmegen

And I'm back in the Netherlands. I haven't written here for a long time, mostly because of all the work of moving to a different country and get settled in.
Since I've arrived (more than two weeks ago), I still haven't had the chance to go to the movies, listen to new artists, read good books and try different wines.
But I can tell you this: yesterday, I saw What's eating Gilbert Grape (1993) and there was something about it worth writing about in here. In this film with Johhny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio and Juliette Lewis, DiCaprio plays an unforgettable role as Arnie Grape, a seventeen years old boy with a severe mental condition. His performance is absolutely flawless. I was really amazed. Though I've always been able to appreciate his acting skills in other movies like The Departed and others, the fact is that I always have trouble to take him serious because of his babyface. Now, in this character he lands it perfectly not because of that young appearance but it sure doesn't harm him.

I'm sure I'll see a lot of movies in the following months. I'm going to enjoy more and more to be indoors while I'm in Nijmegen. I leave you with a picture of the view from my house in one of these mornings so you can understand my passion for indoors right now.
