REVIEW berlinale : The Reader: Germany’s Nazi past a festival highlight

The Reader: Germany’s Nazi past a festival highlight

Stephen Daldry's stirring film is an attempt to ethically approach taking responsibility for the Holocaust crimes which is ingeniously intertwined with the story of ill-fated love. The phenomenal Kate Winslet picked up a BAFTA on 8 February to add to her Golden Globe for her role as Hanna Schmitz

REVIEW berlinale : François Ozon’s Ricky: French-Spanish baby horror

François Ozon’s Ricky: French-Spanish baby horror

Love gives you wings to fly - the French director takes the saying very literally in his new film. Well known for 8 Women, Ozon presents a very sober social realism, which fades more and more into a Peter Pan like Neverland

Berlinale film review: 'Kinshasa Symphony' (2010) by Claus Wischmann and Martin Baer

Who what? The joy of making music with people is always good film fodder. This one is not quite like the varying standpoints and conflicts which were dealt with in Trip to Asia* (2008), where a British journalist toured with the Berlin Philharmonic. The catch about this movie is that ...

Berlinale film review: Exit Through The Gift Shop (2009) by Banksy

Who what? Exit Through The Gift Shop (2010) is a 'pseudo-documentary' of the British graffiti artist Banksy, the street art stencil legend. Not only has his talented work brought him exorbitantly priced sales but he has remained invisible throughout - no-one has ever seen him! But the film isn't about ...
