“While I have absolutely no idea how to run a jury,” Meryl Streep had said at the beginning of her ten days in Berlin, “I was already head of other companies – like my family. ” And now she sits assigned when winning dinner, late Saturday night, their work is done, all the prices are right in the round mirror tent of the Berlinale. And exudes relaxed satisfaction and can not be asked twice when one after another – bear in hand -. Want to take a selfie
One could argue that there was no particular art to award the Golden bear at the 66th Berlinale. The whole world is talking about refugees, and the Berlinale shows many films about refugees, and the jury crowned “Fuocoammare”, a film about the refugee island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean. The Berlinale has a tendency to send their bears films about current political problems, which can be a problem sometimes when artistically outstanding films characterized away empty.
documentary premiered at the Golden Bear
But in this vintage no artistic lightning has struck, there was ” only “three or four truly excellent films, and under which had Gianfranco Rosi Lampedusa documentation bonus of torrid thread; It was also the first documentation that fetched the Golden.
the critic table, no. 16, is only a dozen meters from the entrance, which makes for a lot of through traffic, but proves to be a strategic advantage. Suddenly the environment “Happy Birthday” begins to sing, and the hall enters a radiant Danis Tanovic, Bosnian Oscar-winning whose “death in Sarajevo” has received the second largest bear, the Grand Prix jury.
It is Tanovic 47th birthday, just a few minutes before midnight, and his film sets the example of a hotel in the European fateful place the barely healed historical scars of the continent dates that break everywhere again.
Two Daft, a thought
Man understand the concept, but Tanovic bogged down in the Bosnian Serb special relationship, and therefore hardly had a “Sarajevo” performed as bear candidate. Whether the jury decisions are because like unanimously, Meryl Streep is asked and saves them diplomatically with the saying “Great minds think alike,” meaning “Great minds think alike” (whose other translation possibility but “Two Daft, a thought” is ).
Another such case is the screenplay award for Poland Tomasz Wasilewski, of the story of four women told in “United States of Love”, which after the fall the Iron curtain waiting for the winds of change, but not even feel in the Polish province of a breeze. It is a story, one imagines, according to the heart of the feminist Meryl Streep, but why the screenplay award for a film that finally just forgets three of its protagonists?
Meanwhile, Dieter Kosslick set to table no. 16,. The festival director makes a good host, the round and ordered a glass of red wine from the variety that he personally selected for Bear Dinner; imagine the consequences if he does at every stop, there are more than 50 tables in the tent. A young man with high combed hair and black glasses walks past, and Kosslick brings him to stop: “Hello, Johnny Knoxville” Tomasz Wasilewski grins back: “The Jackass of Warsaw!” Warm embrace.
Director’s Award for Mia Hansen-Løve
Renewed applause distracts Nr. 16,. Here, when Bear winner occur, they get a huge applause – unlike the final dinner in Cannes, where most chefs applauded (as much for the difference of the two major festivals). The new Ovation owned by the Danish actress Trine Dyrholm, who slowly but surely slipping into “Kollektivet” her life, as well as Isabelle Huppert in “L’Avenir”, for however Mia Hansen-Løve received the Best Director Award.
A few days ago has Dyrholm Kosslick asked her but please, please a short meeting with Meryl Streep give to. It is strange what happens to this jury president, not only on the red carpet, but in here, where actually communicate with each other direct with DC, artists with artists, celebrities with Stars. Everyone turned in their presence be republican ego concerns voluntarily of the aura of the monarch, and can feel no difference, and when all the crowd together and have to bend to more strikes match the selfie, then pushes and bends them with.
Julia Jentsch is unfortunately empty-handed
Kosslick Dyrholm has promised a meeting, internally smirking because he already knew she would get the bear as best actress. For the seventh time Dyrholm is now up a film in Berlin, and now it teeters with the bear in his hand, still in large white award costume, happy at this welcoming committee a few feet behind no. 16 to, in the middle of Meryl Streep mild smiling. Kind, not graciously. Welcome Hot End, but a last reserve at distance.
Many had thought this way would go Julia Jentsch. You must be in the “24 weeks” to decide whether to bring a baby with Down syndrome and heart defect. It was probably the most controversial film in competition, which a deeply touched and the other has urged hedgehog position; the latter was the emotional headlock, the Anne Zohra Berracheds sophomore his audience takes too restrictive.
So the only realistic German bear chance was perdu – and also the chance of an effective media integration story because Berrached the Erfurt-born daughter of an Algerian
the mirror tent, decorated entirely in red and gold, with its three concentric rings full of tables with no hierarchical center, is a kind of idealistic model of world cinema. Here they all sit together, Hollywood and Europe Authors and those madmen who the cinema alone further bring how the Filipino Lav Diaz, whose eight-hour “Lullaby for a sad secret” received the least third largest bear, the Alfred Bauer prize.
You consume the endorsed by the vegetarian Dieter Kosslick redfish menu – “was sustaining” he emphasized in hurry off to the next table – are tormented by no toasts and are a as protected few hours before the harsh reality outside the tent flap, before the rain, the reviews and the other bad news in the world.
