Attention All Dojo-ists -
An interesting German film is showing this weekend at Filmfest DC,
called The Robber. See more info here:

Here is a brief description:
Based on the incredible true story of a talented yet taciturn Austrian
marathon runner whose compulsive bank heists were for the endorphin
rush more than the money (though he gets plenty of both), the film is
an assured marriage of action thriller to character study. "I don't
think there is a real explanation for his behavior," Heisenberg told
one interviewer, "yet people still understand this guy totally."
Stunningly photographed and rigorously edited to the rhythms of
exertion and adrenaline, The Robber redefines the phrase "take the
money and run."
I am likely to go to the showing on Sunday night at 7 pm, if anyone
else is interested. Tickets are $11.
