In the real final day of the Berlinale we prepare to start learning award winners which will take us to the awards ceremony tomorrow. Surely will be back later with fest awards as they are announced.
Today some are praising "Harmony Lessons" by Emir Baigazin as "Hannibal by Haneke", which just sounds fantastic to me and makes me wish to see movie a bit more. Still think that story will not be easy to watch. Film has been highly praised and some consider film to be top contender for Golden Bear, so race could be between this movie and Gloria from Chile.
Competition
Elle s'en va (On my Way) by Emmanuelle Bercot
No need to say that film is must be seen for me because some of you already know that I watch everything with Catherine Deneuve. Imagine that the role written especially for Denevue will allow her to deliver another great performance; but if Emmanuelle Bercot's latest movie is as good as 2005 Backstage then my interest grows exponentially. Film already has US distributor. Update: Press conference starts incredibly funny with very dumb questions...
Nugu-ui Ttal-do Anin Haewon (Nobody's Daughter Haewon) by Hong Sangsoo
Alright I admit it, do not enjoy much his films but hope is always with me; first reactions to movie tend to be positive and some critics are calling film perhaps his best. Maybe will give film a try but I'm not rushing to see film.
Out of Competition
The Croods by Kirk De Micco and Chris Sanders
Had NO idea that Emma Stone's voice is in this movie and really like her voice tone plus her skills; watching movie press conference and yes, now I'm interested in watching this animated movie.
