Awards ceremony has been emotional because Dieter Kosslick tributes, homages and the spontaneous reaction of the ceremony audience. I will miss him as believe not many celebrities have what he does, HUGE charm with very-dark and very-dry humor, which simply LOVE it!The movie clips are always welcome and today are helping to focus more on the movies than on the departure of beloved festival director.
My reactions to fest winners is, in general, as a whole have a traditional flavor, which in my book is just perfect. Very glad that last Berlinale directed by Dieter Kosslick has been good and Juliette Binoche's hand is absolutely allover in top award winners, which is also perfect.
Lapid, Ozon, and newcomer Fingscheidt won the one, two and three film awards at 2019 Berllinale. Wait, wait a gift from the jury for DK a huge bear, lol. Will also miss Anke as assume she'll be gone too. Not afraid of change, change is good BUT has to be equal or better than what Kosslick is leaving, sigh; Let's hope next year there will be nothing to regret.
It's over Danke, Dieter! Danke Berlinale! Bis nächstes Jahr
