I had witness what it was I had just witnessed. The film is not preachy, doesn?t presume to judge its characters or try convincing or persuading you in anyway. The filmmakers seen to want you to take everything, quite literally, at face value, to always keep in mind that the title of the movie is not called, Fur, for no reason.
Definitely shocking and certainly not for the timid or faint of heart; if you are a cynic, better to just bypass this DVD at the rental store. ...
Advantages: Crunching guitars, incredible vocals/lyrics, no other band like 'em Disadvantages: Erm, perhaps not to everyones taste?
It seems impossible to describe Deftones? music for so many reasons. There is no sound like it, nothing so twisted and beautiful, so mesmerizing and haunting, or so damn engaging. ?Around the Fur? is the band?s second album release following the furious and eye-opening ?Adrenaline?.
Whilst that release was a unique and almost shell-shocking musical experience, Around the Fur takes all the core elements of Deftones? sound so prevalent on that album and develops it into a thing of incredible melodic beauty, leaving a sound that hasn?t been matched to this day.
Right from the off, the album reeks of intent and meaning. Opening track ?My Own Summer (Shove It)? comes rasping into place, Cheno Moreno?s gravelly whisper feeding off the guitar lick before a blast of intense distortion, pounding bass and pummeled drums comes crashing in ...
Advantages: Great value for a spacious clean room including breakfast Disadvantages: The multi-complex is an architectural design disaster
The hotel is on the top 3 floors of a multi-complex. Nothing luxurious but good value for a clean spacious room, breakfast included with 3 drinks from the minibar. The entrance to the hotel is not obvious - look for the glass door next to the house-number and mailboxes - on the door it says in black letters "Hotel Rezeption". Enter and take the elevator to the 6th floor for the hotel reception. The hotel is an architectural / design disaster but if you follow the signs you'll make it to the reception and your room. Corridors and staircases are dimly lit until you press on one of the light switches with a small orange lamp on it.
A day pass for all public transport for one zone (for the Tri-zone) costs EUR 6 per person. If you stay in Maximilian Hotel, take Bus 16 on Hauptstrasse to Rathaus (about 5 min) and change to Bus 55 to Basel ...

DVD Description
St. Maximilian was born Raymond Kolbe in Poland, January 8, 1894. In 1910, he entered the Conventual Franciscan Order. He was sent to study in Rome where he was ordained a priest in 1918. Father Maximilian returned to Poland in 1919 and began spreading his Militia of the Immaculata movement of Marian consecration (whose members are also called MIs), which he founded on October 16, 1917. In 1927, he established an evangelization center near Warsaw called Niepokalanow, the "City of the Immaculata." By 1939, the City had expanded from eighteen friars to an incredible 650, making it the largest Catholic religious house in the world. To better "win the world for the Immaculata," the friars utilized the most modern printing and administrative techniques. This enabled them to publish countless catechetical and devotional tracts, a daily newspaper with a circulation of 230,000 and a monthly magazine with a circulation of over one million. Maximilian started a shortwave radio station and planned to build a motion picture studio--he was a true "apostle of the mass media." He established a City of the Immaculata in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1930, and envisioned missionary centres worldwide. Maximilian was a ground-breaking theologian. His insights into the Immaculate Conception anticipated the Marian theology of the Second Vatican Council and further developed the Church's understanding of Mary as "Mediatrix" of all the graces of the Trinity, and as "Advocate" for God's people. In 1941, the Nazis imprisoned Father Maximilian in the Auschwitz death camp. There he offered his life for another prisoner and was condemned to slow death in a starvation bunker. On August 14, 1941, his impatient captors ended his life with a fatal injection. Pope John Paul II canonized Maximilian as a "martyr of charity" in 1982. St. Maximilian Kolbe is considered a patron of journalists, families, prisoners, the pro-life movement and the chemically addicted.
