the face of pure chance: The enchanting Cosima Reif

Cosima Reif, bewitching mistress of fortuity, Viennese in furs and a regular on Directors Lounge from the very first time, honours the third Directors Lounge with a slide show and lecture examing prepotenz (such a charming Viennese term) as well as ingenuity of the young Viennese. Anyone luckily enough to see her last year´s presentation of the lost Cuban Film by Eisenstein will agree that this date is a must. Rumour has it that she lately prefers to give her lectures dressed only with a fur and nothing else, thus making her appearance even more viennese.

13 1/2 years after Falco's JUNGE ROEMER (Young Romans) it is about time to flatter the young Viennese. Prepotenz (such a charming Viennese term) as well as ingenuity, that may sparkle in the eyes of the young Viennese lads, is suspected by the elderly and therefor hidden. Thus making it necessary to construe the subliminal signs of the Vienna boys. That´s what it´s all about.


13 1/2 Jahre nach Falco's JUNGE ROEMER ist es an der Zeit, auch mal junge Wiener zu loben. Natuerlich auch zu tadeln. Sowohl Praepotenz (welch schoenes wienierisches Wort) als auch Genialitaet, die jungen Wienern aus den Augen blitzen koennte, wird natuerlich von den alten Wienern beargwoehnt, deshalb besser versteckt. Man muss also die Zeichen, die junge Wiener aussenden, zu interpretieren wissen.
Das ist, worum es geht.
