The winners of the 2007 Bavarian Film Awards — the most important German film prize after the German Academy’s Lolas — were announced yesterday at a gala ceremony in Munich.
The Porcelain Pierrot (worth €200,000) for best film — or best production — went to a local effort, Marcus H. Rosenmüller’s feel-good dark comedy Wer früher stirbt, ist länger tot / Grave Decisions (top photo). Spoken in one of the local Bavarian dialects, Rosenmüller’s feature-film debut became a surprise hit in Germany, earning more than 10 million euros at the box office.

PERFUME Premiere in Germany
Via The Guardian:
The film version of Patrick Süskind’s best-selling novel Das Parfum – Die Geschichte eines Mörders / Perfume, the tale of a twisted 18th-century Frenchman with no body odor but ironically gifted with a freakish olfactory sense, had its world premiere last night, Sept. 7, in Munich.
Directed by Tom Tykwer, Perfume’s English-speaking cast includes Ben Whishaw (as the odorless freak), Dustin Hoffman, and Alan Rickman.
