The results of the 71st Berlin International Film Festival were announced at 7 p.m. Beijing time.
In the main competition unit, Romania's yellow and violent "Unlucky Sex, Crazy Yellow Film" won the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture, which is a complete remake of 2018 - that year's Romanian scaleless film "Touch Me Not" also won the Golden Bear.
"Unlucky Sex, Crazy Yellow Film" movie poster
The film consists of an introduction, three paragraphs, and three "endings", separated by pink subtitle cards (plus music).
The introduction is a 4-minute sex video, which is indeed P station style (I will not describe the details), and I can't help but be in awe of the professionalism of the actors.
The first paragraph is a video streamed online, the heroine falls into crisis after a day of life, running errands and roaming in Bucharest;
The second paragraph is a 75-word "Devil's Dictionary", which is a thesis movie, and the third paragraph is a teacher-parent meeting of the heroine to the school, which is a rather strange criticism conference.
Three endings are given, the third of which is called the "real ending", in which the heroine transforms into Wonder Woman and punishes her parents with a dildo.
Director: Radu Jude (Romania)
Although the film is yellow, the text structure is very complex and even overloaded.
The most eye-catching sex video leak and the debate surrounding its private-professional image (feeling that the director did not refer to the nude photos incident of the eldest cousin) is not even the real focus of the film.
Nude photos are just a matter of discussion, and what the director really wants to discuss is the social reality in Romania today:
The gap between the rich and the poor has intensified, hostility has raged, the epidemic has exacerbated the social crisis, consumer society, anti-intellectualism, conspiracy theories, the prevalence of nationalism, the rise of right-wing forces, and of course, the online violence and moral trials that we are all too familiar with.
This year marks the first time the Berlinale has been held online, and after the awards, the winning films will be screened at the Berlin Cinema from June 9 to 20 at the "Summer Special Event".

I am your human being
I'm Your Man
Directed By: Maria Schrader (Germany)
It's basically a clichéd story of a human and a robot companion, and the video style is also very TV series. But fortunately, the look and performance are good, not annoying.
Silver Bear Award for Best Supporting Actor
Little Kizlinger
Forests are everywhere
Forest - I See You Everywhere
Director: Benedek Feligov (Hungary)
Silver Bear for Best Screenplay
introduce
Introduction
Director: Hong Chang-so (Korea)
Hong Changxiu's efforts can still be seen at a glance, this film is completely a casual work, the scale and method are similar to the mixture of "Claire's Camera" and "Blade of Grass". Three-part story, in South Korea (Seoul?). ), berlin and somewhere in South Korea. Kim Min-hee plays an artist who lives in Berlin. In the few scenes, both mother and daughter repeatedly praise her beauty.
Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution

Best Picture
We
We
Director: Alice Diop (France)
Director Alice Diop is a descendant of Senegalese immigrants. While dealing with family memories (recorded through archives), the film spatially focuses on the outskirts of Paris and uses the RER B line as a spatial connection thread.
This self-conscious database processing is still quite well done, and the seemingly loose and unrelated family memories of the director (who lived by the railroad and whose mother also rode the line when she worked as a cleaner), the black car repairman (a Malian immigrant), the black family doctor, the Drancy concentration camp museum, and some parks and neighborhoods were all strung together by the RER B line. Trains are often in the depths of the field, or in the form of sounds. Emotionally, it is also more restrained.
Special Jury Prize
taste
Taste
Director: Lê Bảo, Vietnam)
The French World Cinema Fund/World Cinema Fund Berlin/Turin Lab, together with the Wildbunch distribution, has therefore received a lot of attention. However, the film is more annoying. The format is a slow film, the main content of which is mixed in the slums of Vietnam, the black Nigerian who was fired by the football team and the naked mix of four middle-aged and elderly Vietnamese women.
Best Director
(side by side)
Girls and spiders
The Girl and the Spider
Director: Raymond Zinchel (Germany)
The main content of the film is that a girl moves from the apartment she shares with another girl for two days and one night, involving more than a dozen characters, in fact, there is no special conflict or plot, the characters come and go, which can be called "wheel dance" or "spider web" structure. Implicit is the issue of parent-child relationships around the theme of friendship/bondage, as well as class and immigration.
Interpersonal hygiene
Social Hygiene
Director: Denis Corte (Canada)
New work by Denis Côté, Berlin's "Ding Zi Hu". Official recommendations say the film proves that "the limitations of the pandemic era can be the mother of the film's formal and narrative inventions", but... Completely insensible. The film is basically a drama of actors facing the camera in an open air environment that is spaced two meters apart.
