10/1 – Berlinale Day 10

It's so-called “Berlinale Kinotag” today as this year's festival draws to an end, with all the awards being accorded their respective recipients, all the directors, producers and actors headed someplace else, it is still a good enough opportunity to see what they've left us with, which is their films - and that's what we have come here for after all, isn't it? So what you haven't been able to get tickets for you can have a go at now; and that's what I did as well.

37^th Forum
“Ichijiku no kao/Faces of a Fig Tree”, Momoi Kaori (Japan)
What's normalcy to you? Lovely, us from a different angle.

Ozon's “Angel” was the official closing film for Competition, alright, but I let myself be ushered out by Berlinale's ultimate screening in 2007, which brought it all to a fitting grande finale in actual fact:

22^nd Panorama
“Dasepo sonyo/Dasepo Naughty Girls”, Lee Je-yong (South Korea)
Soap parody of instantaneous high-school singing. In style, farcic-all, Yeah!





That's it, “Now single up all lines!” (T.R.P. A.T.D.) and see you again next year!
