Does Anyone at This Film Festival Want to Say Something Political?

The Berlin International Film Festival, known as the Berlinale, takes place February 12–22 and is a major event in the film world. While not as highly regarded as festivals like Cannes or Venice, the Berlinale sometimes showcases films that go on to win awards – like If I Had Legs I’d Kick You last year. This year’s festival has had a mixed reception, with some promising films like Mouse from indie filmmakers Kelly O’Sullivan and Alex Thompson, alongside a few disappointments, including the heavily promoted Rosebush Pruning. There’s also a new film featuring Amy Adams, offering her a chance to return to leading roles.
