* Today we went to the Secession Building, which is so intriguing from the outside with the ‘golden cabbage’ sitting on top. Seeing Klimt’s Beethoven Frieze was neat, especially since it is a fresco and it is permanently there. It also just goes to show how important Klimt was as an artist since his work is also shown at the Leopold Museum, the Belvedere, and I’m sure at many more places. The building also housed some cutting-edge art, which makes sense since the building was built specifically for the Art Nouveau artists and their radical new style.* Tonight we saw “The Third Man” at the BurgKino. I absolutely loved this film. First of all, I loved the music choice of the erratic ukulele, which was so unfitting and polar opposite from classical Viennese music that it worked really well with the Film Noir style and the undertones of uncertainty. The story was also intriguing and there were some very memorable and entertaining lines said by Orson Welles’ character when he was in the Reisenrad.
