  ~ Notizen: anstelle einer Review ~

  Wesen/Menschengesxhöpf/man möge es mir nachsehen; schließlich poste ich momentan Reviews einer Challenge vom letzten Jahr. Manchmal haut das Leben zu: Seufz.

  Don't Open Till Christmas 1984

  Nackiger Sommerspaß ohne Badeanzug, Tarot Sitzungen und a bißerl Mord.

  We start straight with a wicked wheelchair opening accompanied by Stelvio Cipriani’s music. Sublime!, only six minutes in and Gli Azzurri rush forward by presenting murder numero uno, immediately you are infatuated with their joy of playing, this very danger may be what sets our beloved neighbour apart.
