Berlinale first Feelings after the first Week-end: 10 movies seen, in almost all section (Competition, Panorama, Forum, Special, Perspective German Cinema, Generation, Retrospective), from almost all continents (France, Germany, China-Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Lebanon, Haiti, Sweden, USA, still missing Africa), features and docus, experimental and big costume production.
Each Berlinale has of course its strongpoints, but with 407 movies proposed it's very much up to each individual to do its own programm according to its own interest (except you are stuck with 24 orders from your editor in chief, but I am here private or maybe as small blogger from the corner, so no Editor in Chief). (and yes, "its" is correct.)
So what is the fazit in all those movies for me up to now? (subjective of course)
There is one strong trend family on love, what is a couple, or gender, or sexual orientation and/or sexual attraction: Keep the Light On, Man for a Day, Elles, Love, even in a sense les Adieux à la Reine.
A second one on splitted Family, brotherhood, absent fathers: Love, Iskander, Kazuko no Kuni, My Father is still a communist, but I am not so sure about Woman in septic tank but could be. (the servant says in Les Adieux she grew up without her parents, does it count here?)
Third: Social conditions and classwarfare: Um's tagliche Brot, the condition of the working class in england, and in some way Elles, les Adieux à la Reine and The woman in the septic tank, and in a subtle way Man for a Day
Fourth: what is or What for cinema? The Woman in a septic Tank, the whole Programm C, Keep the Lights and Love on in a sense (shooting guys represented, using their works to some purposes IN their lives).
Will see if new trends are popping up in the next 7 days left at Berlinale 2012!
Album that I will irregulary update with new pictures
