Mother-Daughter Bosnian War Drama & Guantanamo Documentary: Berlin Film Festival Winners

There weren’t many surprises at the 2006 Berlin Film Festival awards. One of this year’s favorites, Jasmila Zbanic’s Grbavica, the story of a 12-year-old girl (Luna Mijovic, above, hugging Mirjana Karanovic) who discovers that she is the end result of a Bosnian war crime – namely, rape – was awarded the Golden Bear for best film.

Also on the political side, Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross took home the Silver Bear for best director for The Road to Guantanamo, which follows three British Muslims held at the notorious U.S. prison (located on the island of Cuba) where suspected terrorists – without having been formally charged and without access to legal representation – have been systematically tortured and abused.

The acting awards went to (equally serious) German performers: Sandra Hüller for Requiem, the tale of an epileptic Catholic woman who believes she is possessed, and Moritz Bleibtreu for his sex-obsessed high-school teacher in The Elementary Particles.

Pernille Fischer Christensen’s A Soap, a dramatic comedy about the relationship between the owner of a beauty clinic and a transsexual, won the best first feature award and shared the Special Jury Prize with Jafar Panahi’s comedy-drama Offside, about the plight of women who happen to be sports fans in Iran, a country where they’re not allowed inside stadiums.

“German filmmakers have tackled the touchy subject of whether the Allied firebombing of Dresden at the end of World War Two was a ‘war crime’ with a carefully balanced melodrama that got its worldwide premiere on Monday.

“Showing the German point of view of anything in World War Two is always likely to cause a stir – and that’s precisely what the makers of Dresden said they want to achieve.

“Dresden, which premiered at the European Film Market at the Berlin Film Festival (website), quickly reopened old wounds about what many Germans privately call a war crime – and even act of terror.” Erik Kirschbaum via Reuters.

***

Directed by Roland Suso Richter, the made-for-TV miniseries Dresden stars Marie Bäumer, Susanne Bormann, Michael Brandner, Andreas Günther, Jürgen Heinrich, Heiner Lauterbach, and John Light. Thirty-five thousand people died as a result of the fire-bombing of the German city.

When I was in Dresden in the early 1990s, I visited the ruins of a church, left standing as a symbol of the horrors of war. The skeleton of that building remains one of the most haunting images I carry in my memory. “Good” war or “bad” war, the incinerated bodies and cities in ruins are ultimately all the same.

Cinema for Peace

At Berlin’s Cinema for Peace (website) charity event attended by Richard Gere, Catherine Deneuve, Christopher Lee, and Bob Geldorf this past Monday, a one-minute segment from a short video by Sergiu Matei was shown. Matei’s film depicts a Sept. 30, 2006, incident in which Chinese border police opened fire on Tibetan refugees attempting to flee the country.

Gere, a relentless Tibet advocate, stated that as this year’s head of the (do-nothing) G8, Germany has the “responsibility to encourage China to become part of the modern world [where] these kinds of actions and policies can not be tolerated.” (Considering the atrocities perpetrated in and/or by the “modern world,” I’m assuming that Gere must have been joking.)

Cinema for Peace award winners for 2006 were best director Bille August for Goodbye Bafana, best actor Forest Whitaker for The Last King of Scotland, and the “most valuable movies of the year,” Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima.

On a lighter note, Cate Blanchett is in Berlin promoting both her out-of-competition melodrama Notes on a Scandal and her in-competition melodrama The Good German. In some of the pictures, Blanchett is accompanied by Notes on a Scandal co-stars Judi Dench and Andrew Simpson.

Richard Gere quote: The Hollywood Reporter

Teddy Award retrospective

“To show a film from Iran about a transsexual, as we did three years ago, was a sensation. We had to take enormous precautionary measures, because this continues to be a highly political issue.

“But its by no means just the Islamic countries. In our neighbouring Poland a man was recently elected president [Lech Kaczynski of the far right Law and Justice party] who has been spreading so much hatred towards gays and lesbians, that a lot of people have been hurt, also physically. At the moment in Poland, gays and lesbians are being attacked by neo-Nazis and the police are doing nothing about it. This shows that we are nowhere even close to where we think we are, when we see a mixed crowd enjoying itself in the bars and on the dance floors here. The basic political situation hasnt changed. The patriarchy is still the ruling power on this planet and in each and every country; and the patriarchy feels extremely threatened by men who dont go along with it.”

Wieland Speck, director of the Panorama sidebar at the Berlin Film Festival, discussing obstacles faced by gays in the early 21st century while reminiscing about the first 20 years of the Teddy Awards – given to the festivals best film with a gay/lesbian theme. For the 20-year anniversary, previous Teddy Award winners will be screened at the Panorama sidebar.

Nastri d’Argento Nominations: ‘Crime Novel’

Ive added another award list, the Nastri dArgento award nominations from the Union of Italian Journalists. Michele Placidos Romanzo criminale / Crime Novel, currently in competition at the Berlin Film Festival, received the most nominations, 10 in all, including Best Director and a combined Best Actor nod for its three male principals, Kim Rossi Stuart, Pierfrancesco Favino, and Claudio Santamaria.

Cristina Comencinis La Bestia nel cuore / Dont Tell, in the running for this years Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award, received a total of 8 Nastri dArgento nominations, including Best Director and Best Actress for Giovanna Mezzogiorno. (Mezzogiorno was the Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.)

Curiously, theres no “Best Film” Nastri dArgento – the equivalent would most likely be a mix of the Best Director and Best Producer awards. Also, one film may receive combined nominations – as the aforementioned three-part Best Actor nod for Romanzo criminale – or share a nomination with another film for the same award, e.g., Paola Comencini (Cristinas sister) was nominated in the Best Art Direction category for both La Bestia nel cuore and Romanzo criminale.

60th Nastri dArgento Italian Cinema Awards – 2005

The Nastri dArgento (Silver Ribbons) are presented by the Sindacato Nazionale Giornalisti Cinematografici Italiani (National Union of Italian Film Journalists) to Italian films or, at times, to Italian talent in foreign films.

The 60th Nastri dArgento Italian Cinema Award winners were announced at the Auditorium di Via della Conciliazione in Rome on February 7, 2006.

Set mostly in the 1970s, Michele Placidos Crime Novel follows three juvenile delinquents whose goal is to reach the top of Italys underworld. Compounding matters, an investigator obsessed with bringing them to justice falls in love with the girlfriend of one of the criminals. In the cast: Kim Rossi Stuart, Pierfrancesco Favino, Stefano Accorsi, Riccardo Scamarcio, Claudio Santamaria, Anna Mouglalis, and Elio Germano. Crime Novel is the second consecutive Nastri dArgento winner starring Kim Rossi Stuart (photo, left).
