Iceman Trailer
Today I wanted to share with you this Trailer for an upcoming German/Austrian/Italian movie about Ötzi the Iceman.

The movie was shot on location in South Tyrol and stars Jürgen Vogel. Now what is interesting is that the dialouge of the movie will be entirely in extinct Rhaetian - a reconstructed ancient alpine language.
What do you think? I for one can't wait to see this movie!

Maximilian
Today I finally managed to watch the third part of the new Austrian TV movie about the young emperor Maximilian I.
First of all I must stress that I can’t really comment on the historical aspect of the movie since I am not an expert on the late middle ages – but what I heard from friends who do know the history it was not too bad! So generally I was pleasantly surprised, especially the characters were actually very interesting and compelling, especially Maria of Burgundy and her stepmother. Tobias Moretti does a good job as Friedrich III too. The movie also has a great look, not the usual Hollywood fantasy/medieval style, which w
Death of Emperor Franz Joseph

He followed his uncle Emperor Ferdinand in 1848 and reigned for 68 years (thereby beating Queen Victory by 4 years).
On November 21th 1916 he died at age 86.
