Berlin's dreams / day
The time when I was able to describe the events in the Berlin Film Festival in the nuances, reporting from the scene, has remained in the past. This is due to the change of paradigm, as there are now other works and challenges that limit the possibilities of watching the main competition films, catching up with other festival shows and other changes. The festivals have their own ecosystem, trails walked by film institutions, trails that produce producers, but films are mainly watched by press representatives, critics. Often, this imbalance may seem illogical, because why are those who do not take the film mostly, while the filmmakers involved in the process are busy promoting their projects, searching for partners rather than finding out the contexts – films?
The winners of the Berlin International Film Festival were celebrated on the evening of February 22. For the main prizes Golden bear The winner became the film of Norwegian director Daga Juhana Heugeruda Dreams/Drømmer/Dreams (Sex Love). The results of the festival, as usual, discuss. Also about Dreams Thoughts share because this victory is unexpected. Nevertheless Golden bear There is a reputable achievement of Norwegian cinema, which confirms that Norwegian cinema is far from a Nordic film culture Surdarte, as it has long counted compared to the fame pampered Danish and Swedish film culture.
Dreams is the third part of the Hugerud's film trilogy, the focus of which is the infinite nuances of human relationships, which the director reflects nuanced, subtle and accurate. In a dream The different generations of women in one family are clashing the different world and sensual understanding of the world. The main character, a young girl, is fascinated with her teacher and writes her passion in a diary that accidentally comes to her family's attention. The problem and power of women's relationships are also marked in a convincing Brazilian movie Blue/The Blue Trailwhose main character senior refuses to go to the old people's nursing home, escapes it and finds his own self and partner. This film has been awarded the Great Jury Prize Silver -bear.
I have to agree with those who believe that one of the strongest films of the festival is the work of Romanian director's relatives Continental '25who received the prize for the best scenario, though he deserved more. The absurdity, irony and healthy cynicism of the relatives are becoming a tool for the exact portrait of the modern world. Continental '25 The main character is a lawyer who works as a bailiff. Her job is to evict the illegally dedicated bomber out of the basement tragically. During the film, a woman tries to cope with her moral crisis in the most inappropriate ways.
In their stylistly virtuoso films, the Radu Joke confronts Romania – it could be any other place in Eastern Europe – social inequality, nationalism string, capitalist system. Signing his portrait at the Berlin Festival Palace, Radu Jude had written: « F… K Trump and Putin », while at the end of the festival, which took place on the eve of the German election day, he warned the next Berlin festival to reveal Lenny Rifenstall Will triumph – Classic Nazi propaganda work.
